Cougars fall to league foe Northridge

Series: Niwot girls soccer | Story 3

The Niwot girls soccer team faced its first test of the 2021 season when they traveled to Northridge for a match against the undefeated Grizzlies, one of the Cougars' opponents in the new Class 4A Longs Peak League. Unfortunately, the Niwot girls couldn't keep up with Northridge's attack, and went home on the wrong side of the 3-1 final score for the first time all season. Afterwards, Niwot head coach Jenna Machado said her young team has a lot more to learn about winning.

"It's really hard when your first actual high level varsity game is your fifth game of the season," she said. "We did a lot of good things tonight and I think we've a lot of places to work on. But what I am happy about is that we did the things we've been working on this last week. But now we need to work on speed of play, and being secure in ourselves."

Senior Maddie Borncamp scored Niwot's lone goal against Northridge. With the loss, the Cougars moved to 5-1 on the season and second place in the Longs Peak League.
