This season our team consisted of 11 seniors (three were first year players) and 2 underclassmen. We had to deal with many different lineup changes, trying to fill in gaps with players that have not played prior. We were competitive in every game but could not pull off the win, with our inconsistency. We knew going into the season that for us to win we needed players to develop quickly, unfortunately that was not the case. When this team figured things out at the end of the year, we were very difficult to beat. The team has endured a tough schedule, playing 15 teams that were ranked in the top 20, and 14 of them playing in a regional final this year. Despite all of this, we put together a run in the playoffs, making it to the regional championship match. We had big wins against Oswego East, West Aurora, Schaumburg, Naperville Central, Bolingbrook, and Downers Grove North.

This was a challenging year for the team with all the injuries we had this year. The team banded together to do the best they could with what we had left for a team. Getting one of our key players back was the spark we needed to send us into the state tournament. The highlight of the year was hosting the regional and beating the 15-year-in-a-row regional title holder and last year's state champion to claim the Regional crown.
