About this Article

All the signs heading into Saturday night’s Class 3A boys soccer state championship match pointed to Naperville Central claiming the title. After the match, though, it was Warren’s players who were pointing their index fingers high in the air, claiming, “We’re No. 1!” A photo session in the goal with the championship trophy capped the celebration for the Blue Devils, who netted their first state title thanks to a 2-1 overtime time victory over Naperville Central at Lincoln-Way North. Nick Wegrzynowicz scored the game-winning goal. Tony Severini scored in regulation for the Blue Devils. Warren (21-5-3) joins Barrington as the only Lake County teams to win a state championship in boys soccer.
