Lake Forest College Men's Soccer 1999 Season Preview: "Tradition-Rich Foresters Seeking To Rewrite History"      After years of being a dominant team in the Midwest Conference, the Foresters will now get their chance to arrive on the national scene.  The MWC, where Lake Forest has compiled a 38-10 record during Head Coach Ed Kositzski's six years, will send their conference champion to the NCAA Tournament with an automatic bid for the first time in conference history.  The tradition-rich Foresters have won 13 conference championships over the past 25 years.  "The addition of an automatic bid to our conference champion will put even more of an emphasis on our conference games," Coach Kositzski explained.  "In the past we've pointed to certain games, many of which were non-conference foes, as keys to our season.  We'll now put our primary focus on winning our conference games."      The drive to a conference championship will be anchored by one of the stingiest defenses in the Midwest -- no team scored more than three goals versus the Lake Forest all last season.  Juniors Matt Spurlin and Troy Abelin, last year's team Most Valuable Player and Most Improved Player, respectively, return to form a solid backline.  Both were All-MWC Second Team selections last year.  Junior Mike Munson and senior Goran Skopels will add depth to the defense.  Senior co-captain Michael Richardson, a starter the past two seasons, recorded five shut-outs in 1998 from his goalkeeper position.  Junior Adam Nawrocki will give the Foresters additional depth at goalkeeper.  "Our defense, including our goalkeeping, should be rock solid," added Kositzski.  "The question marks for this team will be at midfield and forward.  We have some good potential, but little experience."      Sophomore Chris Mickschl, who also made the All-MWC Second Team last year, led the Foresters in scoring and finished in the top 15 of MWC scoring leaders with four goals and an assist and will be counted on for additional scoring in 1999.  Look for fellow sophomores Chad Mickschl, Chris's twin brother, and Tony Adros, both of whom came on strong at the end of last season, to also make an impact.  Andros was an Academic All-Conference selection in 1998.      In the inaugural year of an automatic NCAA Tournament berth for the Midwest Conference, the 1999 edition of the Foresters will not only seek to follow in the paths forged by previous Lake Forest teams at the conference level, but also blaze their own trail into the national tournament.
