Best bet

WHO: Citrus at Lecanto.

WHAT: Girls soccer.

WHEN: Friday night, 7:30.

WHY: Citrus and Lecanto have been among the North Suncoast's top teams this season. The Hurricanes' leader is sophomore midfielder Amber Presnick, whom many consider to be the area's best player. Citrus' Amy Bowen, Jessica Macdonald, Presnick and Sonya Segars have scored 10 or more goals for the county's top offense. In a recent 10-0 rout of Lake Weir, six different Hurricanes found the net. Lecanto is led by sophomore forward Amber Gidden, who has a team-high 12 goals despite having missed the Panthers' first four games with a knee injury. Sophomore Alicia Short has been productive. Citrus handed Lecanto its only loss of the season in December, 5-0. Since then, the Panthers have allowed one goal in six games and haven't lost.
