Express Squirt Major Wins State 3rd Place Honors

The game on Monday night in Fox Valley started about as bad as it could, with the Cyclones scoring before the hats were back on after the anthem. But as they have done all season, the Express 2014s didn't let the goal 15 seconds into the game kill their energy. Instead, the hard-working group outlasted the red-hot Cyclones by scoring 5 of the next 8 goals en route to a 5-4 overtime win and a new flag for Oakton. The 2014 team finished the year on a 14-5 run, and the 3rd place finish marks the second straight Top 4 state final ranking for this group. Congratulations 2014s, your Express family is proud of you!
