The Trevians missed an extra time spot kick and the first three penalties in the shootout as Barrington won its first state title Saturday.
NAPERVILLE, IL — Barrington maintained their composure all the way through to the conclusion of the final of the Illinois 3A girls soccer tournament, denying New Trier a fourth consecutive state championship Saturday at North Central College in Naperville.
The Barrington Fillies (28-1) and the Trevians (24-3-1) were scoreless after regulation, with the help of goalkeepers Samantha Schmitz and Katy Symanietz, respectively.
New Trier was granted a golden opportunity when they were granted a penalty before the shootout that would have won the game outright, but Sydney Parker struck the post and Lily Conley shot wide, according to the Daily Herald.
