East's goalkeeper makes sliding save--but commits handball outside the box. A new rivalry is born! The Northfield Nighthawks boys soccer team beat the storied Denver East Angels for the first time ever (six years since Northfield started playing soccer) on September 13, in a hard-fought 2-1 battle before a standing room only crowd of both East and Northfield supporters on East's home turf. 15 minutes in, East's goalkeeper received a red card for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity, and with East playing down a man for the rest of the match the momentum shifted sharply toward Northfield. Two headed goals on either side of half-time put the game out of reach despite a consolation second half free-kick goal by East. The student sections were constantly chanting back and forth in what was a thrilling match. As of September 23, Northfield's record stood at 9-0, while East had a 4-3 win-loss tally.
