• Willowbrook’s season goes awry May 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  This was Willowbrook softball's best season in 20 years. The final game, though, surely left the Warriors wanting more. Playing a team it had beaten less than three weeks ago on the same field, No. 12 seed Willowbrook fell to No. 5 Hinsdale South 7-1 at Wednesday's Class 4A Hinsdale South regional in Darien.
  

   

• Baseball/Scouting DuPage County’s Class 3A/4A sectionals May 22, 2012 12:00 AM
  Neuqua Valley is scorching hot and could make a run like the one that saw the Wildcats finish third at Class 4A state in 2008. Hinsdale South is a No. 2 seed but hasn't had a lengthy postseason since it made the super sectionals in 2004. In Class 3A Glenbard South is trying to turn a strong end to the regular season into a sectional title at home.

• Leyden absorbs defeat against Willowbrook May 1, 2012 12:00 AM
  First-half goals from Willowbrook senior captain Louisa Reese and freshman Jess Budig were enough to fend off a brave comeback from Leyden as the Warriors prevailed 2-1 in the rain in a West Suburban Gold matchup Tuesday at the Eagles West campus. The Warriors (6-11-2, 2-2-0) went ahead at nine minutes when Reese bent her free kick around the Eagles wall and into the far corner from 30 yards.

• McGuire meeting heightens Benet vs. DGN appeal Apr 23, 2012 12:00 AM
  Most games, Maeve McGuire is used to seeing her parents decked out in Benet black, red and white. Today could be an exception to that rule. McGuires No. 2 Redwings host No. 12 Downers Grove North this afternoon. It is just another nonconference game for Benet, but not in the McGuire household. Maeves younger sister Rowan is a sophomore outfielder for the Trojans. I think my parents are dreading this because one of us has to lose, Maeve said. I think theyre going to be wearing neutral colors.

• Wheaton co-op just misses 160 Apr 14, 2012 12:00 AM

  Addison Trail, Willowbrok split Apr 14, 2012 12:00 AM
  With the way things started Saturday against visiting Addison Trail, it seemed Willowbrook might be blown out at its own field. The visiting Blazers touched Warriors ace Alex Tiberi for 2 runs in the first and added another in the second for a 3-0 lead. With unbeaten lefty Mike Imperiale on the mound for the Blazers, the first game of Saturdays doubleheader looked like Willowbrook might struggle to keep things close. Instead, Tiberi (3-1) settled down nicely and the home team battled before eventually falling 4-2, leaving coach Vic Wisners snakebit team with its ninth loss already this spring by 2 runs or less. The Warriors broke the streak in the second game with a 3-0 victory. Dave Cericola (3-0) struck out 8 in a 3-hitter.
