On an Oakdale High School girls soccer team loaded with underclassmen, nothing is more vital than the stellar play of OHS senior Jill Kahler. The talented forward has scored in bushels throughout the season and forced conference opponents to surrender goals her way in each league outing.

Kahler has 15 goals on the season, including five in just three VOL appearances. She scored twice with one assist during a 5-0 rout of Lathrop on March 19. Kahler earns Athlete of the Week recognition from The Leader for her efforts.
