Girls 2-1 for the week
Pretty soccer led to a Wildkat win against the Livingston Rangers on Friday, Sept. 2.
Columbia Falls Danielle Delventhal's hat trick and two goals and two assists by McKenzie Kiser led the Northern A Wildkats to the 6-1 nonconference Class A victory.
That left Columbia Falls (3-0-0) outscoring its opponents 25-1 for the season. Cedar Jordt also tallied for the Wildkats, and goalkeeper Kira Kamrud had four saves.
"I thought our first half was just great," Columbia Falls coach Greg Trenerry said. "The girls played with great composure, played pretty soccer, passed well and finished well. In the second half, we got complacent at times."
Trenerry said it was the toughest game of the season, even if the score didn't show it.

Kats vs. Panthers

The Panthers rallied with two first-half goals to for a 2-1 nonconference win over Columbia Falls.
"I think we played hard, a good hard game," Trenerry said. "We made a couple of mistakes in the back, and it cost us."
Trenerry credited Belgrade with having a good strong team, and he complimented Kiser up front, Jordt at center mid, and Katy Darling in the back.
"We won the second half, but we didn't score," he said. "So we need to finish a little better."
