Lyons Continues To Seek Perfection

By Aaron Brown

Lyons Township will put their perfect season to the test one more time in the sectional finals at their own pool against Mother McAuley on Saturday afternoon at 1:15pm.

The Lions have earned two wins over the Macs earlier this season. They first secured a 14-4 decision in their first meeting in Western Springs on March 30, then beat them a second time at the Fenwick Tournament by a 12-3 margin.

McAuley has made their usual late season push towards the state tournament, so LT will likely need to be ready for a much closer contest in the third meeting between the two teams. And with a state tournament berth on the line, anything can happen when these two high-quality sides meet on Saturday.

Questions to ponder concerning tomorrow's girls' games:

Can Fremd continue to roll through the MSL competition in 2010 or does Barrington have enough up their sleeve to pull off a major upset in a home game for the Fillies?

Will the New Trier defense be able to put the clamps down on a skilled Loyola offense or will the Ramblers continue their run through the GBS Sectional and get back to state?

H-F and Lincoln-Way Central both earned dramatic wins on Friday; which team will have enough left over to earn a trip to Stevenson for the state tournament next weekend?

Can Waubonsie Valley provide a greater challenge to Naperville Central in their third meeting of the season? The Redhawks won both contests in 2010 by 9-4 and 10-4 margin earlier in the year.

Will St Ignatius be able to repeat their performance from earlier in the season when they beat Young 12-4, or will the Dolphins be able to make their first IHSA state tournament appearance with a win over the Wolfpack?

Can Mundelein make it three in a row against Stevenson on Saturday afternoon, or will the Patriots be able to get the better of the Mustangs in a pressure-packed sectional final game?

Does York have enough tricks up their sleeve to pull off a major upset over #2 Fenwick? The Dukes will be geared up and ready to go when the Friars come to Elmhurst for a 1:15pm matchup.
