Last year, Hinsdale Central not only beat St Charles in the regular season, but also knocked them out of the state playoffs in the first round.

Entering this season's only regular season meeting, the two teams found themselves in LaxPower's state Top Ten: the Red Devils were at no. 9 and St Charles was at no. 4. Oddly enough, that was the final score.

Hinsdale Central scored the first four goals of the game and never looked back, holding St Charles to a season-low offensive output. St Charles got as close as 4-2 on Thomas Feicco's goal at 10:53 in the third, but Hinsdale Central answered with two more in the next five minutes to make it a four-goal deficit.

Sean Brogan then scored at 2:19 to close the gap to 6-3 and, following a Red Devils goal, Vince Frantz added his second score of the game at 8:23 of the fourth to again pull St Charles to within three. But Hinsdale Central would account for the final two tallies.

Tyler Hines led St Charles with five takeaways, and his four ground balls were matched by Matt McCart and Thomas Feicco.
