The 45th WIAA State Boys Soccer Tournament begins this morning in Milwaukee, with the Division Two semifinals.
It all starts at 11:00 a.m. with top-seed Wauwatosa East meeting the four-seed Pulaski Red Raiders from the FRCC.
They’ve had quite the postseason ride having pitched four consecutive shoutouts.
After a scoreless tie in regulation against Fox Valley Lutheran in the sectional final last Saturday, the Red Raiders won a 4-3 shootout to head to state for the third time in school history, with their last appearance coming in 2022.
The other D-2 semifinal features defending champion Whitefish Bay, a two-seed, taking on three-seed Monona Grove, which is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m.
The Division One semifinals feature top-seed Hudson, riding a 43-match unbeaten streak over the last two years, hooking up with four-seed Verona at 4:30 p.m. followed at 7:00 p.m.by two seed Arrowhead going up against the three-seed Marquette Hilltoppers, who are in the big dance for the 24th time in the last 26 years.
Division Three and Four semifinals are on Friday, with championship matches in all four divisions to be played on Saturday.
