Lindsy Kendrick's goal with 21:07 left in the first half was the difference for Benet in a 1-0 victory over Glenbard West at Benedictine University on Thursday.
Benet is hoping that a solid core of four and a significant amount of young athletic players will make up for a loss of veteran leadership this season.
Four Naperville area teams finished with ten losses or fewer, and sported a combined record of 94-28. Although local squads will need to replace veteran leaders next season, a number of promising underclassmen will return.
Naperville Central used a big second-half rally to stun host Benet 44-42 at the Class 4A Benet Regional Thursday. Naperville Central was led by Victoria Trowbridge’s 17 points and 10 rebounds.
