Lions' state title defense begins with early test

Fenwick wins first matchup of elite water polo teams

OAK PARK — Once again, Fenwick and Lyons Township appear to be two of the premier boys water polo teams this spring.

The Friars got the upper hand in the first meeting between the two teams this season, winning the final of Fenwick's Dan Lynch Memorial Tournament 6-5 on Saturday. Last year, the Friars also beat LT at that tournament, but the Lions won the next two, including the sectional final, en route to the program's first-ever state title.

"We still want to come back and repeat, but it's a little bit different feel because we know that teams really want to pull us off the top spot," said LT senior goalie Chris Sekula. "We're still very dedicated and motivated to win again."
