Payton won it's first ever girls soccer city championship after blanking Lane 3-0 at North Park University. A goal by Payton senior mid-fielder Blake Murphy mid-way through the first half gave Payton a lead that it never relinquished. Murphy, who is also on Payton's girls gold team, scored the goal a free kick from about 35 yards out.

Lane went through the first 5 CPS playoff games on a roll scoring 24 goals and giving up only one in victories over Bogan, Foreman, Mather, Hubbard, and Northside. But could not manage a goal versus conference champ Payton. Lane and Payton met in the last day of the regular season in which Payton won 5-1

Lane vs Mather: winner goes to Premier Conference

The varsity girls soccer team huddles with Coach Mike after a game. Lane and Mather battle this Thursday. The winner moves up to the Premier conference.

Thursday (April 17, 2008) the girls varsity soccer team is playing Mather at 4pm at Mather.  The winner of this game will most likely be the team that is automatically promoted to the Premier league next season.  Although, both teams will probably be promoted anyway because there is a play-in game for the second place 1st Div. team against the second bottom Premier league team which is very weak.
