Lady Vikes headed to state semifinals after early lead holds up for 2-1 victory over Barrington.
The Barrington Fillies soccer team suffered a tough loss to the Fremd Lady Vikings, losing 2-1 in the Super-Sectional match. Recollections of Fremd’s second-place finish in the 2009 state finals helped spur the Lady Vikes on this year’s playoff run. “We knew how fun it was back then and how great it was to get (to the state finals),” junior Emily Basten said after Fremd's victory. “This is for the seniors; it’s all for them.” Basten, a defender on the 2009 squad too, felt that this super-sectional matchup at host site Barrington was about making sure seniors Kristin Abruscato, Jennifer Freeman, Elise Kotsakis and Alexis Tice were able to relive that glory felt two years prior, which coincidentally had Fremd playing Barrington at Barrington…

The shot was just out of the reach of Barrington’s goalkeeper Kelly Pedersen but enough to give the Bears a 1-0 lead. “Anytime we can put the ball in the back of the net and gain that momentum, we …
