COLUMBIA FALLS — Zane Kloeckl scored the game’s only goal at 65 minutes, lifting Stillwater Christian School to a 1-0 nonconference boys soccer victory Saturday over Columbia Falls.

It was the season opener for Columbia Falls.

“We did have a few goal-scoring opportunities,” Columbia Falls coach Peter Browne said.

“I thought we played pretty well defensively. We got tired late in the second half and gave up a goal.

“At times, we moved the ball well,” Browne added.

“It’s something to build on. Some positive things came out of the game.”

Columbia Falls hosts Bigfork on Tuesday, 3 p.m., in a league outing.

Stillwater opened its season Friday night, falling to Sandpoint, Idaho, 6-0 in nonconference play.

Stillwater is back in action Tuesday at Polson, 6 p.m., for a nonleague match.

WHITEFISH — Don’t let the final score fool you.

“It was a closer battle from what the scoreline reflects,” Whitefish coach O’Brien Byrd said.

“It was a hightly-contested match.”

Tanner Williams scored twice in the first half to give Sandpoint a 2-0 edge, and the visitors added two more goals from two different players in the final half.

“Taylor Thompson poured all his heart and effort into it and left it on the field,” Byrd said.

“He probably put 12-13 miles in today. He was all over the place.”

Thompson is a senior center-mid.
