Soccer playoffs: Chaska has a tough Saturday


» Read similar stories filed under:

It was a tough day for Chaska soccer teams on Saturday.

The Hawk boys soccer team came very close to upsetting No. 1 seed Eden Prairie in the playoffs, the girls' soccer team saw its season end to the top-rated team in the state.

Chaska had the underdog label going into the Section 2AA semifinals Saturday morning at Eden Prairie. But the fifth-seeded Hawks played the Eagles very tough a month ago, but played even tougher in the playoffs.

The Hawks and Eagles played scoreless most of the game, but EP's Alex Wittig put one on the board with around 6 minues left in the second half. The Hawks answered with an equalizer with just 130 seconds left in the game.

But the Eagles reached the finals with a Omeed Berenjian goal in overtime.

Chaska finished the season 9-7-3 overall, for perhaps its best season ever. EP (15-1-4 overall) advances to the finals to face Bloomington Jefferson, which dispatched Edina 1-0 on Saturday.

Chaska's team finished 8-10-1 on the season.
