Jesus Aquino, Harvard, sr., MF/F
Aquino, a Northwest Herald All-Area honorable mention selection last year, and the Hornets will go for their fifth consecutive Kishwaukee River Conference title after going 7-0 in the conference and winning the KRC Tournament. Harvard graduated six of seven All-KRC players. Only Aquino is back after posting 10 goals and four assists as a junior.
Noah Gomez, Huntley, sr., D
Gomez was a part of a strong Red Raiders defense last year, earning All-Area honorable mention. Huntley allowed less than a goal per game (24 goals in 25 games), and Gomez will take on a bigger role with the graduation of standout defender Aidan Herrera. Huntley earned its third regional title in four seasons while finishing second in the Fox Valley Conference.
