NSCDS sophomore Edith Edwards-Mizel of Winnetka scored four goals in Tuesday’s supersectional against IC Catholic Prep.
Edith Edwards-Mizel was on pace to score 48 goals in one soccer match earlier this week.
Forty- … eight.
The North Shore Country Day School sophomore midfielder-forward settled for four — including an astounding three goals in the first five minutes — in the Raiders’ 7-1 defeat of IC Catholic Prep’s Lady Knights in the Class 1A River Forest Supersectional at Concordia College May 22.
The barrage by Edwards-Mizel at the outset was the fastest hat trick ever recorded by a female Raiders soccer player.
Edwards-Mizel, of Winnetka, tallied all four of her goals in the first half, and NSCDS advanced to the Final Four in the state tournament for the first time in program history.
