TUESDAY'S GAME PREVIEWS

BOYS

MATCH OF THE DAY

#6 Latin at #4 Lyons

Both teams won their own tournaments last weekend, earning key wins over ranked opponents in the process. Expect a tightly contested game between two teams with state title hopes in just under one month's time.

 

KEEP AN EYE ON:

#12 Waubonsie Valley at #9 McHenry - This nonconference battle between the Warriors and the...umm, Warriors, should get both teams better prepared for a run at a state tournament berth when the state playoffs come around. UPDATE: The game has been postponed and rescheduled for May 4, 2010.

 

#17 Glenbrook South at #16 New Trier - The Titans and Trevians meet up in a game with big sectional seeding implications on Tuesday night in Winnetka; GBS will also look to stay perfect in the conference, while New Trier could make the CSL conference race much more interesting with a win tomorrow evening.

 

#29 Lincoln-Way East at #10 Homewood-Flossmoor - The Vikings will look to extend their lead in the SouthWest Suburban Blue Conference on Tuesday when they play host to the Griffins, a team that beat Sandburg early last week but fell to LWC two days later.

 

#31 Evanston at #11 Loyola - The Ramblers host the Wildkits in a rivalry game that also has major seeding implications for next month's GBS Sectional.


GIRLS

MATCH OF THE DAY

#3 Naperville Central at #4 Fenwick

The Redhawks seek their first-ever win over fourth-ranked Fenwick on Tuesday night, as they put their perfect record to the test on the road against an improving Friars team. In recent play, Central won the Jenison Tournament over several Michigan teams, while Fenwick held off St Viator on Monday night. The clash between two top five teams is just the first of many this week.

 

KEEP AN EYE ON:

#6 Homewood-Flossmoor at #19 Lincoln-Way East - The Vikings look to stay perfect in the SouthWest Suburban Blue Conference when they travel to Frankfort to battle #19 Lincoln-Way East. The Griffins earned a big win over #13 Stevenson over the weekend, while H-F beat Loyola and Waubonsie Valley at UIC on Friday and Saturday.

 

#8 Mother McAuley at #18 Sandburg - Both the Macs and Eagles could use a win in this nonconference matchup that takes place in Orland Park on Tuesday. McAuley won two conference games last week and would like to continue their momentum with a win, while Sandburg will look to bounce back after falling to #15 Lincoln-Way Central in a tough conference battle last night.

 

#17 Wheeling at #22 Prospect - The MSL East division is up for grabs on Tuesday night when #22 Prospect hosts #17 Wheeling. The Wildcats won the first round on March 30 by a score of 11-8, and they can put some distance against one of their rivals with a win in this contest. The Knights won a big divisional game over #25 Hersey in overtime last week, so they will seek another solid effort in order to create a tie at the top of the division if they can earn a home win.

 

#14 Latin at #20 Evanston - The Romans nearly tipped #3 St Ignatius last night, falling by a goal in overtime, so they'll be looking for another strong performance when they travel to Evanston to take on the Wildkits in a nonconference affair.
