Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Cary-Grove). Their defense stepped up to hand the McHenry Warriors a 6-0 shutout on Tuesday. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for Cary-Grove considering their one-goal performance the matchup before.

Their offense was hitting McHenry from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Julia Valaitis led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by herself.

Cary-Grove pushed their record up to 3-3-2 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 12 goals over those three contests. As for McHenry, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 1-5-3 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Cary-Grove is set to face off against their familiar foe Jacobs at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, McHenry will take on rival Dundee-Crown at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
