DVC softball takes us to Naperville North as the Huskies take on the Metea Valley Mustangs in a late-season conference matchup before regionals begin next week. The Huskies have sealed the conference title and look to remain undefeated in DVC play. However, the Mustangs aim to close the season strong, having won five out of their last six games.
