Boys Soccer

The boys soccer team’s season ended on Saturday after an historic postseason run. The week started with a 1-1 tie in the NorCal opening round to Galt High that ended in a 5-4 penalty kick win for the Eagles. The NorCal semifinal matchup with Ygnacio Valley also ended in a tie, this time 2-2, with Harker once again winning on PKs 4-3. The NorCal finals sent the Eagles to East Union High in Manteca where the boys were defeated 0-2. Congratulations on an amazing season!
