New Trier and Libertyville are an even 4-4 against one another since April of 2015, but likely not for long. The Trevians will be taking part in a tournament against the Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. New Trier is currently enjoying a perfect season and no doubt wants to keep things rolling.

New Trier is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Illinois' top teams: Stevenson, who was ranked 20th at the time (New Trier was ranked fourth). The Trevians never let the Patriots get on the board and left with a 1-0 victory on Saturday. New Trier's defense has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a goal in their last seven contests.

Meanwhile, Libertyville hasn't lost a match yet, a trend which continued in their latest game on Saturday. They and Lane Tech finished up on equal footing with a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) marked Libertyville's first draw of the season.

New Trier's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-0-1. The home victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 18 goals over those five matches. Libertyville's draw makes their record 5-0-1 this season.
