Meanwhile, South Elgin waltzed into their matchup on Wednesday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. They never let the Raiders get on the board and left with a 7-0 victory. South Elgin's defense has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a goal in their last four contests.
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.
South Elgin's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-7-2. Those home victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 22 goals over those four games. With that draw, Elgin's record moves to 15-4-2.
