EVANSTON — It’s always going to be a barnburner when Evanston and New Trier meet.

In soccer, the rivalry between the two soccer programs has escalated. The teams consistently fight for Central Suburban League South Division titles. They last faced off in the state tournament in the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

The large crowd at Evanston’s Lazier Field was in for a special treat Friday night when the Trevians and Wildkits renewed their second-season rivalry for a sectional title.
