Isabel Oferosky

East Ridge • soccer

The senior goalkeeper gives her teammates a sense of security.

"She makes the defense feel very comfortable knowing that she is there and will save the strike," East Ridge coach Latcho Kostadinov said. "She is a leader on the back line. She has played a huge role for the success of East Ridge soccer."

Oferosky has appeared in all 18 games for the Raptors, allowing only eight goals this season while recording 12 shutouts. She has a .913 save percentage and a 0.45 goals-against average in 1,415 minutes in goal.

Oferosky allowed more than one goal only twice this season — both times to White Bear Lake. White Bear Lake defeated the Raptors 2-0 on Sept. 17. East Ridge, ranked No. 4 in Class 3A, are 9-0-1 since that loss, including a 3-2 victory over White Bear Lake in the Section 4 championship match.

Last Tuesday, Oferosky and the Raptors, playing in the state tournament for the first time since 2017, defeated Maple Grove 1-0 in the Class 3A quarterfinals.

Assistant coach Nate Kurtzweg said Doise's "performance in the state quarterfinal showcased his ability to have a massive impact on the game and how special he is while on the ball."
