BOCA RATON — Laura Weinberg and Stacy Dent-Iaciofano met seven years ago at a soccer camp in Coral Springs.

Weinberg was just 10 years old at the time and barely remembers, but Dent-Iaciofano recalls it clearly.

"She stood out to me," Dent-Iaciofano said. "Her personality and skills just stuck."

The two were reunited at St. Andrew's with Weinberg as the star forward and Dent-Iaciofano as head coach. They won a state championship together in 2007, Weinberg's freshman year. Tonight, the Scots - who have won 10 consecutive matches - look to start another title run when they play host to Melbourne Central Catholic in a Class 3A regional quarterfinal.

St. Andrew's (13-3-1) is loaded with talent - four players were first- or second- team all-area selections last year - led by Weinberg, who leads the Scots with 21 goals. She committed to Duke as a sophomore, the same year she scored 27 goals and was mentioned in Sports Illustrated.

ESPN featured her in one of its regional publications prior to this season.

Weinberg appreciates the attention but doesn't dwell on it.

"I'm not embarrassed of it necessarily, but I'd rather stay more under the radar," she said. "I don't want people to be looking at me like I think I'm good."

When she steps onto the field, opponents ratchet up the scrutiny to a greater degree. Slowing St. Andrew's starts with containing Weinberg, which typically requires a double-team.

In the minutes before most matches, Weinberg notices opposing players calling out her number.

"Having someone follow you around the whole game definitely makes you mentally stronger," she said. "It definitely puts me out of my game mentally, but I've learned to deal with it."

That is an understatement. Weinberg does more than just elude double teams and other defenses - she embarrasses them.

As a freshman, Weinberg already was one of the fastest forwards in the area. Before this season, she hit the weight room and has reaped the benefits of additional body strength.

Weinberg faces one of the area's best defenses in practice every day and tests the coverage abilities of teammates who know her moves by heart.

Weinberg only needs to misdirect a defender for a moment and then she uses her speed to exploit the opening she creates.

"You can't just expect one thing from her," senior Emily Brockway said. "She'll definitely mix things up and throw something new at you."

Weinberg works well with fellow forward Lauren Reilly, helping form one of the area's most dangerous offensive combinations. Reilly has 16 goals and eight assists on the season.

The memory of St. Andrew's 2007 championship still lingers for Weinberg. She was picked as team MVP that season, but needs at least one more title to be satisfied.

"It definitely serves as motivation for me," Weinberg said of the 2007 title. "Looking back on it reminds me we can actually do it. We've done it before."
