BUSEFINK BRINGS HER BEST TO THE TABLE

CORTLAND OH- Don’t look now, but Lakeview girls soccer has put together a seven win season so far.  Last season, the Bulldogs finished at 4-9-1.  It is one of the most dramatic turnarounds that we see in the sports arena this season. One of the big reasons why the Bulldogs have been able to turn the tide is their senior leadership.  One of the seniors we had to shine a light on is Lexi Busefink. She has been putting in the work for four years, and now it’s the time that her team results start to show. When asked what made the program’s turnaround possible, she said it’s all about everyone on the team accepting, understanding, and executing their job.  When the whole team is in sync on the soccer field, good things will happen.

Lexi heads in to this final season with high hopes. Her future isn’t set in stone yet, but we at YSN know she’s going to do great things.  She took the time in the morning to sit down with Anthony Hartwig and tell us more about her senior campaign.  They discuss her leadership qualities, her interests outside of soccer, and much more. It’s an exciting time in Lakeview, and we have you covered! Check out the latest Bulldog Soccer Player Profile only on YSN!
