COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The 4A boys soccer crown is staying put.
Northfield, the defending state champions from a year ago, ran it back on Saturday in the Class 4A title game at Weidner Field. The Nighthawks shut out Battle Mountain 3-0 to successfully defend their crown.
"This feels just as rewarding as last year, and to go back-to-back is so special," senior midfielder Jack Freimann said. "My last high school game to end on a win, that's extraordinary."
Friemann got Northfield's scoring started early with a goal in the 5th minute. Ren Garfield scored in the 24th minute and Quinn Tettero added a third in the final minute.
Northfield's championship season ends with a 17-1-1 overall record. Battle Mountain went 13-5-2 as runner-up.
