Boys Soccer Reaches State Final Four
It was a great run for the
Potomac boys varsity
soccer team, who advanced
to the Virginia State
Final Four for the first time in
school history. The boys had
gone undefeated in their last
12 games of the regular season
and scored an impressive 39
goals during their streak.
In one of Potomac’s most
exciting games of the season
against MAC rival Sidwell
Friends, the Panthers mounted
a strong comeback from a
score of 1-3 to tie the Quakers
at 3-3 in the closing minutes
of the game. Sidwell was
ranked #1 in the metro area by
The Washington Post.
During the MAC tournament
semifinals, the Panthers
defeated Georgetown Day
School 2-1 in overtime. In the
finals, the Panthers again met
#1 seed Sidwell, but fell by a
score of 3-1.
The Panthers next turned
their focus to the Virginia
State Tournament, where they
battled St. Christopher’s to the
1–0 victory that put them in
the final four. However, the
Panthers fell short of reaching
the championship game
when they dropped the match
against #1 seed Episcopal, 1-0,
on a dreary, rain-soaked field
in Richmond.
