  Fenwick turns away Stevenson May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
  Host Stevenson knew it had a huge task on its hands in attempting to knock off perennial power Fenwick Saturday night for the boys water polo state championship. And after a one-year hiatus, the Friars' dynasty returned to the mountain top as they built a 7-3 lead over the Patriots after three quarters before finishing an impressive 10-4 victory for first place in Lincolnshire. Fenwick (31-5) has now won 10 state titles, including nine crowns in the past 10 seasons.
  

   

• Comeback falls short as Mundelein finishes fourth May 18, 2013 12:00 AM
  After a tough 8-7 loss to Lincoln-Way Central in the semifinals, Mundelein was hoping to finish its great season with a win Saturday afternoon in the girls state water polo tournament. But after falling behind Mother McAuley 8-4 after three quarters of the third-place game at Stevenson, the Mustangs had to settle for fourth place as their huge late comeback attempt fell a little bit short in an 11-9 loss to the Mighty Macs. Mother McAuley (29-5) captured its sixth top-three trophy while Mundelein (28-6) now has three top-four trophies in Elite Eight competition.

• Stevenson digs deep, knocks Conant from state tourney May 17, 2013 12:00 AM
  Host Stevenson was rolling in the deep end of the pool Friday night in the second half of the Patriots' boys state water polo state quarterfinal game against Conant. The Cougars proved that their sparkling 30-3 record heading into the state tournament was for real as they led 2-1 after one quarter before the Pats rallied back to take a 5-4 halftime lead. The very close and evenly matched back-and-forth battle wound up being tied at 6-6 on a breakaway goal by Conant's Jon Burke with 4:12 left in the third quarter. But Stevenson (22-9-1) and goalie Rob O'Brien played shutout defense the rest of the way as 5 goals by junior Mitchell Sokolsky paved the way to a 9-6 Patriots victory.

• Kozokar’s 9-goal effort lifts Mundelein past Barrington May 16, 2013 12:00 AM
  It was a banner day for Mundelein, and one player in particular stole the show Thursday night in the girls water polo state tournament. The Mustangs faced Barrington in the quarterfinals of the Elite Eight meet at Stevenson, and Mundelein rolled to an 11-5 victory behind a state tournament tying 9-goal performance by standout junior Karrie Kozokar. Mundelein (27-6) advanced to the semifinals Saturday at 9 a.m. against Lincoln-Way Central (29-5), which defeated Loyola 12-11 in the first game of the day. Barrington closed out its season with a 27-5 record in its fourth appearance at the state tourney.

  Barrington takes the lead, tops Fremd May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
  Barrington had grown tired of playing second fiddle. For the five years previous, the Fillies girls water polo program had advanced to the sectional championship round — only to see Fremd earn a spot in the Elite Eight at Stevenson. On Saturday in Fremd's pool, the roles were reversed as Barrington edged the Vikings 12-10. It was sweet music indeed for the Mid-Suburban League champs.
  

   

• Big defensive finish key for Conant May 11, 2013 12:00 AM
  Conant, the top seed in the Fremd boys water polo sectional, was getting all it wanted from Hoffman Estates on Saturday afternoon. The No. 3 seed Hawks, after springing an upset on No. 2 Fremd the previous night, were within 7-5 late in the third quarter. It seemed like Hoffman Estates had every chance to stay in the game, and perhaps even pull a stunner. Conant had other ideas. Senior Jon Burke scored on a man-up possession at the end of the third quarter, and the Cougars didn't allow another goal the rest of the way in an 11-5 victory. Conant (30-3) earned its first state tournament trip since 2007 and will face Stevenson at 7 p.m. Friday in the Elite Eight at Stevenson.
