Saturday update

On the road between Naperville and Hinsdale/Fenwick, here is the latest update for today as I stop at this next red light:

At Fenwick, the Friars finished their side of the bracket 4-0 with a win over York. Earlier, St Pats and Naperville Central battled to a 9-9 tie while Central beat Brother Rice 12-10 and Pats takes on Rice momentarily. Lincoln-Way East looked impressive in a win over Oak Park and is currently taking on Evanston. And the Florida team, Winter Park, went 4-0 on the same side of the bracket with NC, Pats, and Rice...they scored in double figures in every game on their trip.

At Mundelein, Fenwick is one win away from winning the Shamrock Invitational (Evanston is ther final game). They beat Stevenson 9-6 and McAuley 15-9 so far. Stevenson then beat McAuley, while Mundelein knocked off Evanston in the tournament opener. Just a few more games to play out here.

At Hinsdale, Lyons will play for the title against Conant, who was yet to lose this year (but did tie Hinsdale Central earlier today. Hinsdale Central has somehow tied Andrew, Hoffman, and Conant in their three weekend games, which has to be some kind of record. I expect nothing less than a tie in their final game of the night. Conant beat Andrew as well, and should jump a few spots inthe rankings a few spots as a result (and more if they could beat Lyons.)

At Naperville Central, St Ignatius' hole set Nora Kennelly scored on an outside shot in sudden death overtime to give the Wolfpack a 9-8 win. Neither team could score in the first two overtime sessions, so a third OT was necessary. Ignatius led for most of the game but Central tied things late and both defenses took over from there. Kennelly scored with under thirty seconds left as well, or this game would have gone to the fourth OT. York beat Lyons for 3rd place while Katie Kleinhample scored with :02 left on the clock to help Vernon Hills beat Lake Forest 6-5 for 5th place.

At Lake County, Mundelein beat Stevenson for the second time this year 7-5. Lake Forest beat Barrington for third and Vernon Hills topped Libertyville for fifth place.

Loyola girls beat Waubonsie Valley 12-4 earlier this morning, and I am curently just waiting for results from tournaments at St Charles North, Bremen, and Maine East (girls tournaments) and the final 2-3 games at Fenwick, Hinsdale, and Mundelein.

Oops..gotta go; green light! More later...
