Central Suburban League South Division

Maine South 1, New Trier 1
Fifth-ranked New Trier (7-1-2, 0-1-1) opened the scoring early with a header off a corner kick. Maine South's Will Smucker answered with a header off a cross from Bartek Galimski midway through the first half. The second half failed to break the deadlock. The tie moved the Hawks (7-3-1, 1-0-1) into second place in the league. 

 

North Suburban Conference

Libertyville 1, Waukegan 1
Mateo Portillo gave the visiting Wildcats the first half lead off a Lukas Krezminski assist. The hosts fought back to force the draw. Andy Houser made two saves for Libertyville.


Nonconference

Hinsdale Central 4, Batavia 1
Martin Montoya scored a hat-trick to pace the Red Devils (7-1-2), who extended their unbeaten streak to eight matches. Enzo Cinque completed the scoring. Austen Szurgot delivered two assists, and Luca Davies produced one. The match was only the third between the schools; Hinsdale Central now holds a 2-1 series lead. Batavia assistant Tom O'Reilly was Mike Wiggins first assistant when the Hinsdale Central coach started his head coaching career at Downers Grove South in 1994. "(Batavia was) a much different team than last fall, improved and well-coordinated in the counter," said Wiggins. "As a result, it led to the goal that brought the game to 2-1. They did well to get numbers behind the ball, but I credit our guys with seeking ways to keep the ball, and still break down the lines to get into the final third. We had good chances throughout the game." The 18th-ranked Red Devils will train up to a big West Suburban Conference Silver Division match at no. 1 Oak Park and River Forest on Sept. 19.
