LW West boys' water polo team secured a victory on Thursday night, defeating Carl Sandburg 16-13 in a high-scoring game.
According to the team's head coach, Nick Schaub, the Warriors improved their season record to 12-5 with this home victory. The win is considered a significant boost for the program as it builds momentum heading into the final stretch of the regular season.
Lincoln-Way West’s offense was strong from the start, establishing a lead that Sandburg could not overcome. The Warriors maintained pressure throughout the game with aggressive attacks and consistent defensive plays that prevented the Eagles from mounting a comeback.
"This was a complete team win," Schaub said following the match. "We stayed composed and executed when it mattered most. I’m proud of the way our guys fought from start to finish."
With this victory, Lincoln-Way West has now won three of their last four games and appears to be peaking at an opportune time.

The Warriors will aim to continue their winning streak in the coming week as they prepare for challenging conference matchups.
