Warren 1, Waukegan 1
Matt Hegge's fourth-minute goal gave the no. 17 Blue Devils the lead for 59 minutes; but Warren (8-1-3, 1-0-2) had to settle for the home draw. Keeper George McAtee made five saves. "Really pleased with how the boys played early in the game," said coach Jason Ahonen. "Things we’ve been working on the last few days at practice really came to fruition tonight, especially early. Unfortunately we were not able to tack on another goal or two in the first half. Waukegan is a very dynamic and skilled team that really made us work hard especially defensively in the second half. Hats off to Waukegan’s goalkeeper for making some quality point-blank saves specially early in the game."
