Glenbrook North 4, Grayslake Central 1
The 20th-ranked Spartans prevailed. Grayslake Central got a goal from Dani Orozco off a Thomas Ramsey assist, Goalkeeper Nick Murphy made three saves. "Hard to believe a team of Glenbrook North's caliber is in the seventh place game, but that just shows how tough this tourney is," said Grayslake Central coach Thomas Hamilton. "Both teams were struggling with heavy legs after a busy week, but it was a good game nonetheless. Lately we've been passing the ball well and creating some quality chances, but when you play the top teams you'll pay for your mistakes. We've learned a lot from these early games, and we're hoping that, with a little rest, we can build on the progress we're making and start getting results."
