The Niwot boys soccer team passed an early season test with back-to-back wins over top-ranked teams Holy Family (0-1) and Standley Lake (0-2-1). With the wins, the Cougars moved to 3-0 on the season to enjoy sole possession of first place in the Northern League. In the match against Holy Family on Aug. 31, the Cougars’ front was once again aggressive on the attack out of the gate. Holy Family’s defense, led by Abel Campos, managed to fend them off until the 17th minute when Niwot senior Jas...
The Niwot boys soccer team cleared the first hurdle on its path to the post season with a 3-1 victory over the visiting Skyview Wolverines in their season debut Aug. 24. Niwot was aggressive on the attack out of the gate, and kept the ball in the Skyview third for most of the first half. The front three generated several scoring chances for the Cougars, and finally got on the board when junior forward Manual Tapia punched in a centering pass from senior wing Andres Montealegre in the 20th...
It’s only a mild exaggeration to say that not much got past the defense of the 2016 Niwot boys soccer team. Led by keeper Mario Munoz, the Cougars allowed just 17 goals in 16 games, the second lowest total in the Northern League and eighth lowest in Class 4A. On the other side of the ball it was a different story. The Cougars managed just 31 goals, and their inability to convert on scoring chances turned a potentially special season into merely a good one. Five of their seven losses last season...

Sturtz is from Buffalo, NY, and is currently a sophomore forward for the Nittany Lions. As a freshman, he led the team in goals with 18, which was the fifth-most in the country by a freshman. The performance earned him the freshman of the year award. His first goal for Penn State was named the NCAA’s No. 1 Play of the Week on Oct. 23, 2015, coming agains...
For 110 minutes last Wednesday, keeper Mario Munoz and the Niwot defense did what they’ve been doing all season—holding opponents scoreless. Unfortunately for the defense, however, the Cougars’ offense also did what it’s been doing all season—not converting on scoring chances. And so it would go for Niwot’s first round playoff game against the Evergreen Cougars, last year’s 4A state champs. Niwot’s defense did its job, but scoring, or, more precisely, a lack thereof, would ultimately prov...
On Oct. 11, the Niwot boys soccer team faced off against rival Silver Creek in a key Northern League matchup. Going into the contest, the Raptors, who hold the Northern League’s top spot, were averaging more than 3 goals per game on 11 shots. Despite holding Silver Creek to just a single goal, by senior Miguel Toledo, his sixth of the season, Niwot was unable to find the back of the net, losing 1-0, for the fifth time this season. In fact, each Niwot loss in 2016 has been a 1-0 contest. The C...
On Friday, Oct. 7, the Niwot boys soccer team faced Centaurus in an away game, coming away with a 2-1 victory. Niwot’s goals, both in the second half, were made by senior Alex Arnold and junior Jason Rodriguez; junior Andres Montealegre had one assist. Sophomore Mario Munoz was in the net tending the goal again for the full game, allowing only one goal while making three saves. The Cougars, currently ranked 16th in Class 4A with a 7-4 record, face rival 7th-ranked Silver Creek (9-2) on Tuesday, Oct. 11, before their last two home games of t...
The Niwot boys soccer team followed a pair of wins with a pair of losses, as they closed-out their non-conference schedule and faced their first conference opponent. Niwot ended Homecoming week 5-3 on the season, but 0-1 in Northern League standings. On September 13, the Cougars handed a 4-1 defeat to a tough Peak to Peak Charter (3-1-1) team. The Pumas, who had no losses going into their game against Niwot, are currently ranked second in Class 3A. Senior Brian Oates had a goal and an assist in...
The Niwot Cougars boys soccer team beat the Skyline Falcons at a home conference game on Tuesday, September 6 in double overtime with a final score of 3-2. Niwot’s scoring came from junior Jason Rodriguez, who scored two goals, and junior Dylan Campbell, who had one goal. “Every game we’ve had this season has been a close game,” Head Coach Stephen Dimit said. “It seems like every game is just coming down to the wire. But it’s good for the guys to help prepare better for later.” Although seni...

The Cougars boys soccer team started off its season strong, with a new head coach and a fairly new team of varsity players. Head Coach Stephen Dimit was most recently coaching at Vista Ridge High School in Colorado Springs for the past five years, before coming to Niwot this fall. Dimit, who also taught at his former high school, is now teaching English at Niwot High School as well. “So far everything’s worked out really great,” Dimit said of his new position. “It’s been a smooth transitio...
As the summer comes to a close, kids, parents and teachers alike look forward to the new school year ahead. This year, students returning to Niwot High School (NHS) can expect new technology in the classroom, as well as updates throughout the school. Eric Rauschkolb, who is going into his third year as the principal of NHS, said the most exciting thing he’s looking forward to this year is the rollout of new iPads for all students. The teachers have been preparing for the new technology since last year by receiving their own Mac laptops and i...
Returning to the playoffs after missing the tournament last year, the Niwot High School girls soccer team played a tough game but ultimately lost to D’Evelyn 4-1 last Wednesday. Despite the loss, the girls still gave the season everything they had and should be proud of the 10-6 record for the season. Niwot Head Coach Rob Johnson reiterated that statement after the loss, saying this loss was more on the coaches than the player’s effort. “These girls worked so hard and as coaches it’s our job to...
