WOODSTOCK, Vt. - White River Valley boys soccer’s season ended Tuesday afternoon with a 0-2 loss at Woodstock in the first round of the playoffs.
The ninth-seeded Wildcats were back on the same field where they had played the Wasps to a 2-2 draw five days earlier. This time Woodstock got goals from Luke Hecker and Henry Freyer, and Wasps goalkeeper Grayson Hughes made several key saves.
White River Valley finishes 6-7-1. The Wildcats came into the playoffs unbeaten in four games, with wins over Green Mountain and Otter Valley and draws at Fair Haven and Woodstock. Their best results of the fall included a 6-1 home win over Otter Valley and two 1-0 wins over Randolph.
Coach John Olmstead’s group returned five starters, led by senior Jack Hughes, a returning all-state player. Before the season, Olmstead said, “George Roda, Greyson Russ and Landon Cronan are poised for breakout years.”
