The Stagg Chargers are set to open postseason play with confidence as they host the Shepard Astros in a regional playoff matchup. After an impressive regular season, Stagg looks ready to carry its momentum into the playoffs and make a deep run.
According to the schedule, the game will take place on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. in Palos Hills, Illinois. The Chargers (14-4-2) will have home-field advantage as they take on the Astros (6-14-1) in the first round of the tournament.
Stagg has been dominant throughout the season, boasting a .750 win percentage and one of the stingiest defenses in the area, allowing only 12 goals across 20 matches. The Chargers’ balanced attack and disciplined backline have powered wins over strong programs like Lincoln-Way East and Oak Lawn.
Meanwhile, Shepard has struggled for consistency, facing difficulty against top competition. With Stagg’s organized midfield and a potent offense that averages nearly two and a half goals per game, the Chargers are well-positioned to control possession and tempo. Expect Stagg to showcase the form that made them a conference contender as they aim to begin their playoff journey with a statement victory at home.
