Naperville North boys soccer wins state
After holding off Lane Tech in the semifinals, Naperville North boys soccer won the 3A state championship over St. Laurence 3-2 in penalty kicks.
The Huskies tied the game with less than two minutes remaining in regulation to force overtime, with senior Eddie Zoeller eventually delivering the winning PK.
This is the fifth state title for the Naperville North program and its fourth since 2016.
