Prep Report: Hartsell sets another program record for Southwestern soccer

Three matches, three victories and three program records for Southwestern senior Aiden Hartsell.

Hartsell scored two goals and had an assist Monday to lead Class A, No. 11-ranked Southwestern to a 5-3 victory at Oldenburg Academy. His second goal of the match set a new career record for goals scored at Southwestern, breaking the old mark set in 2020 by his older brother, Anick Hartsell.

Hartsell (photo to left with his father, Justin) set a new career assists record in the Spartans’ season-opening win and scored six goals in his second match to set a new record for goals scored in a match.

Forester Werbe opened the scoring Monday giving Southwestern a 1-0 lead. Hartsell added to his career assists record by setting up Jordan Jones for the goal and a 2-0 lead.

Hartsell tied his brother’s record with 7:18 left in the first half.

The Twisters (0-2) closed the lead to 3-2 before Hartsell netted the record breaker with 12:48 to go.
