The NHS Boys Soccer team is now 13-3-2 after a win Friday at home vs. Greenfield High School. They are currently in 4th place (3-2-1) in the North Shore Conference with one conference game remaining on Tuesday at home vs. Whitefish Bay.  Tuesday's game will be the final tune-up before beginning their run in the WIAA Regional Playoffs.  The team is likely to host a 1st round regional game on Tuesday, October 9th.  Due to WIAA rules prohibiting playoff soccer games from playing on fields not designated "soccer only", it is likely that game will be played at Uihlein Field.  The JV2 will play at home on Wednesday at 4:30pm vs. University School.
