BARRINGTON – Keeping the St. Charles East boys soccer team off the board for 10 minutes at a time has proven a daunting proposition this season.

Warren was able to hold down the Saints for 65-plus minutes, tightening its defense after allowing an early score to claim Tuesday night’s IHSA Class 3A Barrington Supersectional, 2-1, over the Saints.

“They did an absolutely fantastic job of defending us in the second half,” East coach Paul Jennison said. “To be honest, with that wind, at 2-1 at halftime, I had no complaints. We thought we were in a pretty decent spot. Credit to Warren. ... Hands down, that’s the best team we’ve played this year.”
