What a week it has turned out to be for Ellie Rebman.
The Libertyville star forward led the Wildcats to a 2-0 victory Friday night over Fremd in Northbrook to claim the Class 3A Glenbrook North sectional crown. The Wildcats advance into Tuesday's supersectional against New Trier in Northfield at 6 p.m.
The opener came early when the Vikings allowed a long ball from Wildcats keeper Kate Hopma find its way to Rebmann on the other end of the park. She then outraced a pair of defenders before finishing with a sublime touch in the 8th minute. The Vikings began to gain some steam during the later stages of the first half, thanks in part to its ability to win more first and second balls than the Wildcats . That was particularly true in the middle of the park, as well as creating several deep throws and corners, in which the Wildcats defended.
Tess McGormley played a near perfect early ball into the center channel to set Rebmann free. Her enterprising run and carry allowed her to get into a 1v1 opportunity with Gordon that ended with a fine finish at 75 minutes.
