Game Preview - FACTS & STATS: Site: Stevenson High School -- Lincolnshire, Illinois. 2005 Series Record: Naperville Central leads, 1-0. GAME NOTES: Flossmoor advanced to state by winning the Lincoln-Way East sectional, but they will be tested right away in their matchup with Naperville Central...Hole set Lauren Peterson could be a difference maker in this game if she can score right away...Amy Thatcher is a playmaker who can score on the counterattack, draw ejections, and create opportunities for other players...Kelsey Christensen helps runs the offense and is a solid passer, ball-handler, and defensive player...Ashley Anderson is an underrated defender who performed well in the first meeting between the two teams...Stephanie Lassen has had her finest season in goal for the Vikings...Sam Baffes is a versatile player who can score and play tough on the defensive end...Amanda Owen and Meghan Davidson should both see valuable time in the field for the Vikings... Naperville Central snuck past Neuqua Valley 5-4 in overtime to advance to the state tournament. The Redhawks boast a variety of weapons, as any player is capable of having a big game...Denise Oldenburg has emerged as a physical scorer in her junior season, and the offense can depend on her early and often if she is able to score quickly...On defense, Jenna Jefferds is a tough hole guard who can also score from the outside at any time...Nikki Nelson is one of the most talented players on the team, and her speed allows her a ton of fast break opportunites...Sarah Pucci scored two key goals in the overtime win over Neuqua, so she has shown she can step up in crucial situations...Brittany Walk calls a good game from goal and is also an excellent passer, which can help out the Redhawks' counterattack...Liz Young and freshmen Heather Gardner and Kara Wilson could all play significant roles in the outcome of the game... Both teams appear evenly matched and all signs point to a close game. Central won the previous meeting by one goal, but the Vikings are geared up for this one and should be able to hold off the Redhawks by a goal.
