The IHSA has released the girls soccer playoff schedule. Here are pairings for Kendall County-area teams.

Mia Anderson capitalized off a deflected shot in the 73rd minute, scoring the game's only goal on a rainy Thursday evening as Lyons edged out Oswego 1-0 in an Ed Watson Naperville Invitational girls soccer match.

Lexi McCluskey's corner goal kick late in the game sent Plainfield Central past Yorkville on Thursday.

Oswego goalkeeper Kyla Baier turned away all four shots she saw in penalty kicks, and Jordyn Washington scored two goals in regulation as the Panthers beat Waubonsie Valley 4-2 in PKs to stay unbeaten on the season.

The 2-2 final score Thursday will go down as a tie. For a first-year Serena/Newark/Earlville girls soccer program and a rebuilding Streator program with half its varsity roster spots filled with underclassmen, it felt like a win.

Serena/Newark/Earlville played Streator on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at the James Street Recreation Complex in Streator.

The 2026 girls soccer season starts this week. Here are previews of teams from around the Record Newspapers coverage area.
