Lightning delays soccer

UPDATE: Benet ties Lincoln-Way Central 0-0, wins shootout 3-1.

Harshbarger-Welzel Field in Naperville is empty as we speak, but there's still hope that Benet will play Lincoln-Way Central in the nightcap of this Best of the West doubleheader.

Lightning postponed Neuqua Valley vs. host Naperville North until 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. The game will resume where it left off Tuesday before the weather and the second game forced postponement.

North led nationally-ranked Neuqua 1-0 when referees stopped the game with 31:01 left to play in the first half. Senior forward Emerson Beck scored in the ninth minute.

Benet and Lincoln-Way were supposed to start at 7 p.m., but there's still lightning here with only 23 minutes to spare. There's a minimum 30-minute delay at the sight of lightning, meaning this game's not starting at 7.
