South Elgin barely beat Glenbard South the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Storm's defense stepped up to hand the Raiders a 7-0 shutout on Wednesday. Considering South Elgin have won ten contests by more than three goals this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Their offense was hitting Glenbard South from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Avianna Hernandez led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for three goals all by herself.
Meanwhile, Elgin had to endure a three-game losing streak, but that streak is no more. They and Aurora East finished up their match with a 2-2 draw last Saturday. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time Elgin have been dealt a draw since back in March.
South Elgin's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-7-2. Those home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up one goal over those four games. With that draw, Elgin's record moves to 15-4-2.
South Elgin took their victory against Elgin in their previous meeting back in April by a conclusive 5-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Storm since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
