The Lake Zurich Bears will take on the Fremd Vikings at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
While Lake Zurich fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Monday's season opener. Their defense stepped up to hand Niles West a 3-0 shutout on Monday. The score was all tied up 0-0 at the break, but the Bears were the better team in the second half.
They hit Niles West with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Reilly Novak, Morgan Kroeger, and Delilah Swartwood.
Fremd hadn't beaten St. Charles East on the road since March 12, 2019 but that history sure didn't bother them on Tuesday. Fremd sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 1-0 victory over St. Charles East.
Lake Zurich came out on top in a nail-biter against Fremd when the teams last played back in March of 2024, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for Lake Zurich since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
