Neuqua Valley and Benet both won their playoff openers Tuesday night, now Naperville Central, Naperville North and Waubonsie Valley will try to follow suit Wednesday.
Of the remaining matchups, the one that looks the most intriguing is the Huskies' match against DuPage Valley Conference rival West Aurora. The teams meet at 7 p.m. in the Naperville Central Regional semifinals, their second matchup of the season.
The Huskies dumped the Blackhawks 4-1 back on April 23, continuing their dominance in the series. North holds an 11-0 all-time mark against them.
But North isn't entering the playoffs on a hot streak, having finished the season 0-1-3 after a win over Geneva on April 29. Losing Jessica Kodiak to a broken collarbone also doesn't help.
Still, the Huskies should have enough to make it a clean sweep for the Naperville-area teams. That is, if Central gets past IMSA and Waubonsie can survive Plainfield North.
