The Naperville Central Redhawks begins conference play with a home matchup against the Neuqua Valley Wildcats. Neuqua is looking to build off a 4-2 victory over Plainfield North on Saturday.
Early on the ball is bounces around a bit before Megan Norkett passes to Lauren Thorne for the shot but Tara Tesmond is there for the save. Scoreless ten minutes in.
