Chicagoland Soccer Top 25


By Patrick Z. McGavin

For the first time ever, the top-rated teams of the Chicagoland Soccer Top 25 poll and Illinois 10 poll squared off when Naperville North and Notre Dame (Peoria) met in the semifinals of the Go for the Goal Classic on Friday morning in Burlington, Iowa.

Notre Dame was rated higher by MaxPreps and had two victories over common opponents by greater margins. The Irish beat Fremd 4-0 and Naperville Central 4-2. North beat both of those programs by scores of 1-0.

The Irish discovered what Libertyville did in last year’s Class 3A state championship. Numbers are somewhat irrelevant against the Huskies. Ty Konrad scored on an assist from Cesar Recendez to pull out the 1-0 victory.

In the championship game, Naperville North defeated Wisconsin-power Marquette 4-3 in the shootout after the game ended 2-2. Tommy Welch made two spectacular saves to clinch the victory. North now has a 0.25 goals-against average, having posted 13 shutouts and conceded just four goals in 16 games.

Morton, Wheaton Academy and Mount Carmel also impressed at the tournament. The week just proved what many already knew: until proven otherwise, Chicago soccer is the tops.
