Hinsdale Central girls soccer solid all over field

HINSDALE – The faces may change, but the goals remain the same for Hinsdale Central’s girls soccer team.

Though a slew of seniors, including standout midfielder Alison Cerny, defenders Lily Chetosky and Christa Kuhlman, and keeper Riley Glenn, have moved on, the Red Devils still have their sights set on winning a West Suburban Silver title, and more.

“One thing we pride ourselves on is making sure our style of play is where it needs to be and that we’re being dangerous and creative offensively,” head coach Michael Smith said. “After that, we want to win conference, and we know the Silver is tough. From there, we want to be as prepared as possible for the postseason.”

Kaitlyn Livingston, Maeve McLaughlin and Erin Smith return to the defense to play in front of Katy Coseglia, who takes over as the primary keeper after splitting time with Glenn last season.

“She shared time last year, but we’re excited to have her back,” Smith said. “It’s her team now, and she’s a phenomenal competitor.”

Further up the field Margaret Tamm, who made an impact with five goals after a call-up from the sophomore team late last season, is back, as is three-year varsity starter and UIC commit Jenny Saviski. At the top of the attack Alix McArthur and Sydney Griffin, returning to high school soccer after focusing on club ball, could give the Red Devils an explosive offense to complement their strong defense.

“Alix had a hat trick in her first game, and finding success early bodes well for her future,” Smith said. “Sydney is going to be a Division I player, and she is a very seasoned, quality attacking player. She brings another dynamic player to our offense.”
