Prep Report: Hartsell continues to set scoring records at Southwestern

Aiden Hartsell will graduate Southwestern as its most decorated soccer player in program history.

The senior has already set three new offensive scoring records this season. On Monday against Morristown, Hartsell pushed the goals scored in a single game record a little further out there.

Hartsell (photo) scored seven goals – breaking his own record of six set earlier this season -- and had an assist to lead the Spartans (5-0, 2-0 Mid-Hoosier Conference) to a 10-0 victory over Morristown (2-3-1, 0-1 MHC).

Hartsell now has 23 goals and seven assists in five matches this season. He currently shares the single-season goals scored record with his older brother, Anick. The duo each scored 35 goals last season.

Hartsell scored in the game’s first five minutes Monday to get the Spartans rolling.

Johnny Joy tallied his second goal of the season six minutes later for a 2-0 lead.

Hartsell then scored four goals in a six-minute span to push Southwestern’s lead to 6-0 at halftime.

Gareth Stringer notched his second goal of the season to open the second-half scoring and make it 7-0.

Hartsell tied his own record with his sixth goal with 29:34 left and reset the record just over two minutes later to make it 9-0.

Joy added another goal to complete the scoring for a Spartans’ offense that is averaging seven goals per game.

Conner Gooch had a pair of assists in the win to push his season total to six. Joy and Jordan Jones each had two assists. Forester Werbe was credited with the assist on Hartsell’s record breaker.
