The Lincoln‑Way Central Knights delivered a commanding performance Thursday night, defeating Waubonsie Valley 17‑8 at home.
The match took place on Thursday, April 30, at Lincoln‑Way Central High School.
The offense was relentless from the opening whistle, with Angelina Platos leading the charge by scoring seven goals. Jenna Mack and Genevieve Dal Ponte each added three, while Gianna Jansky, Ella Giertuga, and Hannah Quigley chipped in one apiece to round out a balanced attack.
The highlight of the evening came from the defensive end, where goalkeeper Lauren Glens stunned the crowd with a rare full‑court goal, according to Coach Pamela Shaughnessy. After corralling the ball in her own cage, Glens ripped a shot the length of the pool that found the back of the net, underscoring the Knights’ confidence and energy. Her play set the tone for a squad that combined sharp passing with aggressive finishes to keep Waubonsie Valley chasing throughout the match.
Lincoln‑Way Central’s victory showcased both star power and depth, reinforcing the team’s ability to control tempo and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
With momentum building, the Knights now turn their attention to the Lincoln‑Way East Quad on Saturday, May 9, where they will face their district rivals in a highly anticipated tournament matchup.
