Northwestern wins Berkshire League boys soccer title on late goal over Nonnewaug
Nick Brodnitzki scored with 13½ minutes left to lift Northwestern.
On Monday, November 2, 2026, Northwestern claimed the Berkshire League boys soccer title with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Nonnewaug. This marked Northwestern's first regular season title since 2007, and they dominated possession throughout the game. With only 13½ minutes remaining, senior forward Nick Brodnitzki scored the winning goal, collecting a rebound and finishing the play off a wide-open shot.
The key to Northwestern's success was their ability to finish scoring opportunities, as they have seen 18 different goal scorers this season. Nonnewaug, although strong defensively with 14 shutouts on the year, ultimately fell short as they sought to potentially join the Naugatuck Valley League. Northwestern's Lucas Horstmann made 6 saves, while Nonnewaug's Liam Cunningham made 9.
Coach Andy Campbell expressed pride in the team's performance, stating, "We already won the league, but this was good to get ready for the state tournament. They're really good and they're going to be good next year, too. So, it was a nice test."
