In the wake of Thursday's match with Oak Park-River Forest getting scratched because the Oak Park bus was in an accident with "a drunk driver,"the Neuqua Valley girls water polo team has three home matches remaining on the schedule, and all three will be important benchmarks for the Wildcats.

Before 14th-ranked Neuqua plays the first of the Big 3, the Wildcats have two road matches against ranked teams: at No. 3 St. Ignatius on Monday and at No. 25 Naperville North on Tuesday. Then the fun begins.

April 10

The first of the three home matches brings No. 1 Fenwick, which according to the illpolo blog, beat defending state champion Mother McAuley in the last week, 11-1 and 9-8.

April 14

Bully on the block Naperville Central -- ranked seventh this week after taking third place at the competitive Lyons tournament -- is the second test. The Redhawks are undefeated against Naperville-area teams, going a combined 6-0, including a 12-5 win over Neuqua at the Naperville Quad.

April 29

No. 4 Sandburg is the final home date and final game before the Wildcats go to the Stevenson tournament, which is the final test prior to the playoffs.
