After what went down last year, Benet knows very well that falling to Mother McAuley in the championship of the Autumnfest tournament is not the end of the world.
That said, the Redwings know they will have to play a lot better than they did in Saturday’s 28-26, 25-11 loss at the 24-team tourney if they expect to defend their Class 4A championship. Minus injured outside hitters Veronica Snelling and Gretchen Rudel, Benet won its pool play at the Glenbard East event and later swept Providence in the semifinals.
