The IHSA has disqualified the Lemont High School girls volleyball team from playing in the Illinois state playoffs after the team broke one of organization's rules.
Team members learned on the eve of their first state playoff game that they were declared ineligible because they played one more regular season match than the rules allowed.
The team wore their jerseys to school Wednesday even though they don't have a game. Their season has come to a sudden end. The team finished the regular season with 27 wins. Because they won and advanced in several multi-team tournaments, they played extra matches, which put them over the IHSA limit for the regular season.
The statement also said the school offered a number of other penalties, but the IHSA instead chose to disqualify them from the playoffs.
