Bartlett blitzes Montini

The Bartlett girls soccer team dictated the pace of play throughout a clear-cut 8-1 victory over Montini in Lombard Saturday afternoon.

The Hawks got on the board just over two minutes into the nonconference match when Nicole Gobbo found the back of the net, assisted by Nicki Noreen, who later in the first half upped Bartlett’s lead to 4-0 after notching back-to-back goals on assists from Amanda Zindel.

“It was the first game that we came out strong from the first whistle, and as a result we got on the board first,” Hawks coach Heather Thomas said. “Overall, it was a good win. Now, we have to step up for Batavia on Tuesday and, hopefully, have the same result.”

Gobbo scored twice more in the second half for a hat trick. Brittney Van Ness had a goal and 2 assists and Kendra Videckis had a goal and an assist for Bartlett (2-1).
