LAKEVIEW SOCCER CONTROLS ITS DESTINY IN THE MAC BLUE BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK
jszczepaniak@candgnews.com
There are certain things that just eat away at a team. For St. Clair Shores Lakeview girls soccer, falling short in the district finals for two straight years and still having no answers for St. Clair, the Macomb Area Conference Blue champion the past two seasons, are two of the things at the very top. Since joining the MAC Blue in 2019, St. Clair has had Lakeview’s number year in and year out in the league, but the Huskies decided to put an end to the constant struggle once and for all. Beating St. Clair 1-0 on April 29 and improving to 7-0 in the league, Lakeview (11-0-1, 8-0 in the MAC Blue) now controls its own destiny in the journey for the school’s first league title since 2013. Lakeview’s return to the top has been brewing for quite some time after the incoming post-COVID group returned winning consistency to Lakeview soccer. The program went 9-9 in 2021, 11-7 in 2022, and 16-4 in 2023. “We had just a good core of girls come in,” Lakeview head coach Simon Miners said. “We had a couple girls with Sophia Stanton and Maggie Kinsora start as freshman, so we had a good core three years ago come in. Oftentimes you lose a big class and the bulk of your team, and we’ve been fairly fortunate in the sense of what we lost hasn’t been a huge bulk of the team.” If you took one look at the results of each game this season, the Huskies’ strength would take about two seconds to locate. Senior goalkeeper Autumn Wirick, a multisport athlete at Lakeview as a center for varsity basketball and middle blocker/outside hitter for volleyball, carries 11 shutouts this season in net.
