BISMARCK – Lisbon’s boys state championship defense was successful on Saturday.

The Broncos repeated as the top team in North Dakota Class B at the Community Bowl, finishing with 68 points topping Kindred, which finished second with 44.

The Vikings snapped Lisbon’s 18-year winning streak at the Southeast Region meet last weekend, but the Broncos held on Saturday.

“We came into this meet knowing we had to perform to do well,” Lisbon boys head coach Mark Moss said. “It was a tight meet. Being the champions last year, we had a big target on our backs. We have a special senior class that was the backbone of our team last year, and they came to this meet and performed well.”

Lisbon won three straight titles from 1999-2001 and won its eighth overall championship this season. The Broncos are the first team to repeat as champions since Hazen won in 2007 and 2008.

Leading the way on Day 2 was senior sprinter Nathan Mangin, who won the 100 and 200 meters with times of 10.91 seconds and 22.21, respectively.

“It’s a nice way to go out,” Mangin said of the team championship. “We knew Kindred was going to put up points. We just had to match them.”

“Nathan getting the win in the 100 and 200 was big for us,” Moss added. “That sealed the deal.”

Frietag, Kindred sweep Class B relays

Just one day removed from helping the Kindred 3,200-meter relay win a state championship, junior Nick Frietag added to his state title collection.

Frietag ran a leg in Kindred’s 400-, 800- and 1,600-meter relays, which all turned in first-place times on Saturday.

“It was really nice to win them all, and it’s an honor to be on all four relays,” Frietag said. “We have a lot of great runners on the relays and being able to run with them, and make the cut with them, is a really good feeling.”

The Vikings’ 800-meter relay, comprised of Frietag, Scott Cramer, Justin Anders and Eric Bachmeier, raced to a time of 1:30.54 to open the day.

“We came here to win,” Bachmeier said following the 800-meter relay win. “We didn’t want second.”

The quartet of Cramer, Frietag, Anders and Bachmeier also won the 400-meter relay with a time of 44.08.

“We were so pumped for the meet,” Cramer said. “Nick got first in the (3,200 meters) on Friday and we really wanted to step up. We wanted to help Nick get four relay wins.”

Cramer, Frietag, Bachmeier and Brandon Quibell closed the day winning the 1,600-meter relay in 3:28.91.

Illies wins the 110-meter hurdles for M-W-L

Milnor-Wyndmere-Lidgerwood senior Jeff Illies’ athletic future is with the North Dakota State football team, but on Saturday he won a state championship in the 110-meter hurdles.

Illies posted a time of 15.25, which clinched his first state title.

“It felt amazing,” Illies said. “I have been working for that my six years of competing in varsity track, and it’s good to finally have that weight lifted off my shoulders.”

Illies placed second in the triple jump with a mark of 43-3. He also placed in the high jump.

FARGO – Fargo Shanley had a shot at redemption against Fargo Davies on Saturday. But being the only team to beat the Deacons this season, the Eagles weren’t about to tarnish their winning record and lose out on the top seed in the upcoming state tournament.

Starting forward Reiley Klose and senior Emily Wendorff each had a goal and Jenny Marsh had two assists to lead the Eagles to a 2-0 win over the No. 2-seeded Deacons to win the East Region girls soccer championship.

“Shanley is an amazing team that we are going to continue to play for a long time,” Davies head coach Nick Christianson said. “It’s just a good battle between us.”

Playing against the wind in the first half, Klose’s goal broke a scoreless tie for the second time this tournament. Her shot looked like it was heading wide right, but got caught in the breeze and curved around the reaching hands of Deacons goalkeeper Jenna Zaeske and into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead.

“It definitely feels good to give the team a little push,” Klose said. “Once we score it’s a little more relaxed.”

With a one-goal advantage, the Eagles were able to play back on defense and let the 20 mph winds help them out.

“We were playing more defensively,” Wendorff said. “In the first half, we were against the wind, so we tried to just hunker down and make sure they didn’t get one back on us.”

The Deacons had a golden opportunity at 33 minutes, 46 seconds when senior Sydney Dauenhauer was awarded a penalty kick for an aggressive challenge inside the box from a Davies defender. Her shot went right into the arms of Davies goalkeeper Lauren Orson for one of her five saves.

Kara Syvrud had a scoring chance for the Deacons, but her shot bounced off the post.

With five minutes left in the match, Wendorff took a pass from Marsh and fired it into the net for the team’s second goal, which sealed the deal for the Eagles.

“It was really great seeing that goal go in,” Wendorff said. “We’ve worked so hard to get here and have really wanted to be champions for a while.”

Davies enters the state tournament as the No. 1 seed from the East and will face No. 4-seeded Mandan on Thursday at Sid Cichy Field.

“There’s a little bit of a relief knowing that we’re the top seed, but our next goal, most importantly, is our first game at state,” Klose said.

FIRST HALF: 1, FD, Klose (Marsh), 17:39.

SECOND HALF: 2, FD, Wendorff (Marsh), 75:00.

SAVES: FS, J. Zaeske, 6. FD, Orson, 5.

LONDON – Arjen Robben scored in the 89th minute Saturday to give Bayern Munich a 2-1 win over German rival Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final, ending four years of frustration for his team in Europe’s biggest tournament.

Robben ran on to Franck Ribery’s backheeled flick-on in the area and calmly slotted the ball past goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller to give Bayern its first Champions League victory since 2001. The German team had lost two of the last three finals, including on penalties to Chelsea last year in its own stadium in Munich.

In a game that featured a slew of chances for both teams, Mario Mandzukic put Bayern ahead in the 60th minute at Wembley Stadium before Ilkay Gundogan leveled from the penalty spot eight minutes later, after defender Dante fouled Marco Reus in the area.

Robben, who missed two great chances in the first half, then finally came through for Bayern to set off wild celebrations in the red-and-white end of Wembley. It was the perfect redemption for Robben, who missed a penalty in extra time of last year’s final, causing some Bayern fans to turn against him. A year later, after the final whistle sounded in London, he received undivided adulation as he strode with his arms raised toward the section of jubilant Bayern fans.

Robben also set up the first goal for Bayern, taking a pass from Ribery and drawing Weidenfeller out toward the touchline before squaring for Mandzukic, who could hardly miss from a few yards out.

But the lead didn’t last long. Dante clumsily clattered into Reus in the area, and Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli pointed to the spot. Gundogan sent Manuel Neuer the wrong way before calmly slotting his spot kick into the right side of the net.

Bayern entered the game as the clear favorite, although that message didn’t seem to have filtered through to Juergen Klopp’s Dortmund team, which seemed intent on dictating play from the start. They largely succeeded for the first 25 minutes as well, although it was Bayern that ended up with the best chances of the first half.

Mandezukic came closest when his header was tipped onto the bar by Weidenfeller in the 26th, and the goalkeeper then denied Robben four minutes later when the speedy winger raced clear on goal.

Before that, Neuer had been by far the busier goalkeeper, making a point-blank save from Jakub Blaszczykowski and diving to stop an effort from Sven Bender. Neuer also pushed away long-range efforts from Reus and Robert Lewandowski, before denying the Polish striker again from close range in the 35th.

Robben had the final chance of the half when he beat Mats Hummels to a long ball into the area in the 42nd, but fired his volley straight into Weidenfeller’s face.
