The Naperville North Huskies will head out on the road to take on the Geneva Vikings at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
While Huskies 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 Wednesday's season opener. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Wheaton-Warrenville South on Wednesday, sneaking past 2-1. The game was the first time the Huskies have beaten the Tigers on their court since October 19, 2017.
The match was a true back-and-forth as no team won consecutive sets, but in the end it was Naperville North who won the one that mattered. The final score came out to 25-23, 24-26, 25-18.
Meanwhile, Geneva came into Wednesday's game having lost three straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They skirted past Waubonsie Valley 2-1.
Geneva was actually outscored in aggregate across those three sets (72-71), but they still managed to win. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 20-25, 25-23, 26-24.
Naperville North better keep an eye on Lexi Meives. She was instrumental in Geneva's win, getting 16 digs and seven assists. Those 16 digs gave Meives a new career-high.
