Monticello and St. Teresa battled through a defensive showdown Wednesday night, finishing in a 0-0 tie in a non-conference matchup.
The story of the night was Monticello goalkeeper Lexi Cole, who turned in a standout performance between the posts. Cole was sharp from the opening whistle, making multiple key saves and controlling the box to keep St. Teresa off the scoreboard. Her presence in goal gave Monticello confidence throughout the match and ultimately secured the shutout.
Monticello’s offense created several strong opportunities across both halves, applying steady pressure and getting close on multiple occasions. Despite the chances, they couldn’t quite find the breakthrough goal, as shots narrowly missed or were turned away.
With both defenses holding firm, the match ended scoreless, but it was clear who made the biggest impact on the field.
