Lincoln‑Way West kept its conference record perfect with a 9–4 victory over Lockport on May 6, a home game that showcased the Warriors’ defensive discipline and timely scoring.
Played under the lights at 6:15 p.m., the matchup began with Lockport pressing early, but West’s back line and goalie work kept the visitors from building momentum.
The Warriors entered the contest at 6–3 overall and 6–0 in conference, averaging nearly 10 goals per game while allowing just over seven. That balance showed again as West’s midfield controlled ground balls and turned possessions into efficient looks. By halftime, the Warriors had established rhythm, and in the third quarter they stretched the lead with sharp ball movement and transition play.
Lockport, 6–7 overall and 5–2 in conference, fought to stay close, but their attack was slowed by West’s defensive rotations. The Porters, who average 8.9 goals per game, found few clean chances against a defense that has held opponents to 7.4.
By the final horn, Lincoln‑Way West had delivered a complete performance: steady defense, confident offense, and composure in crunch time. The 9–4 win added another defining result to a season marked by control, resilience, and the Warriors’ ability to rise in big moments.
