2007 Season
Welcome to the Prospect H. S. Girls Swimming website. Our dedicated girls do not have a pool of their own, so they share Wheeling's pool for practices and meets. Check out some of our LINKS and photo ALBUMS. Locations and directions to other high schools are at LOCATIONS. Please sign our guestbook.
This is also be a source for information, schedules and scores for the Knights water polo teams; boys and girls, Varsity and JV. There is older information on the WildKnights which was a co-operative team of Wheeling (Wildcats) and Prospect (Knights). They combined to enjoy a successful first 5 years. 2007 will be the first year that team is split into individual Prospect and Wheeling teams.
For more information on the current water polo season, go to

We are currently working on adding the meet schedule for the 2007 season, and cleaning up the older water polo and 2006 season info. Thank-you for your patience.
FIRST meet is Tuesday Aug 28 at Warren H.S. at 5pm.
All Home meets are at Wheeling.

Knights Play Well in 2007 Girls Water Polo MSL Championship
What an exciting game!!! The Knights played outstanding, but were bettered by the Barrington Fillies in the MSL Championship. Congratulations to the Knights on winning the MSL EAST and to the four girls named All-Conference.

Barrington Fillies in Fine Form
By Bill Swick

Posted Friday, April 27, 2007
Things are shaping up nicely for Barrington. The Fillies are in the midst of their best season since girls water polo became an IHSA-sanctioned sport. On Thursday, thing got even better to as the Fillies won the Mid-Suburban League championship with a hard-fought 8-5 win over visiting Prospect. The Fillies are now 19-4 and swept their MSL foes 12-0.
We gave the player of the game (today) to everyone, said Barrington coach Mark Markwell. This was a team effort. If you look at the stats, we were (great) across the board today. Im very happy. When you win a championship and sweep the entire league, how can you not be happy?
Barrington shut down the Knights near the end of the third period while getting goals from Christine Byron (2 goals) and Jacie Dick to pull away. It was good to get conference, Byron said. We also swept the conference completely, and that was the first time in our water polo history. It was a good team effort. Adding to that team effort were goals from Kristine Alfonso (2), Christa Pappas (2) and Lizzie Stetson.
I think my girls played real well, Markwell said. Prospect played extremely well, too. We expected it to be a much tighter game than first time around, and sure enough, it was. Goalie Brooke Wojtowicz also had a solid effort for the Fillies with 11 saves. From a goalies standpoint, we felt early on that we had to have tight D up top, especially on the girls who were shooting, Wojtowicz said. For our team, it was definitely a good start to our postseason.
One girl who was certainly a scoring threat for the Knights was Emily Schiavone (4 goals). In an all-around stellar performance, Schiavone scored twice after Fillies ejections and twice from halfway across the pool. She scored 3 goals in the third period to get the Knights within 6-5.
I felt pretty lucky. Its like I shoot and just pray, joked Schiavone. I do practice (long shots) a lot. Im really glad about todays game because we worked together very well. It wouldve been nice to win but we played really hard. Everyone tried their hardest I know I tried my hardest.
Prospect (14-7, 10-2) opened up the scoring early with 1-0 lead in the first after a goal by Sarah Sohn.
Much better than the last time we were here, said Prospect coach Dick Mortensen of an earlier 14-5 loss to Barrington. I think we did a good job of staying in the game. We slowed it down to our liking. Our passes were good and (we took) advantage of their openings.
Sophomore goalie Giovannina Penze had a standout effort by turning away many shots from the Fillies.
In the end, their speed and skill outplayed us today, said Mortensen. Like I said, Im not unhappy at all. We played as a team today.
