The Emery soccer team continued their run in the 3A State Championship Tournament on Monday when they faced the No.1 Morgan Trojans at Juan Diego High School in Draper. Their incredible post season ended after being shutout, 4-0.

After receiving a bye in the first round, the Spartans were part of the crazy second round where four upper seeds lost. In that round, Emery defeated the No. 4 Grand Red Devils, 1-0. Round three would bring up a contest with another region opponent in the No. 12 Richfield Wildcats, beating them in shutout fashion as well, 1-0.

The semi-final match-up with No.1 Morgan wasn’t the first time they faced the Trojans this season. Back in March at a tournament in St. George, the Spartans fell in their meeting, 6-0.

The Spartans could not break the Trojan defense on Monday afternoon as they were unable to get the ball into the back of the net. The Trojans added one goal in the first half and then three more in the second half, sending Emery home ending their season.

Rory Williams, Owen Tolman, Cole Terry and Isaac Lowder all scored for Morgan. The Trojans now move on to play Judge Memorial for the State Championship.

The Spartan soccer season comes to an end in the semi-finals of the 3A State Championships. Emery ended the season 9-10 overall with a 5-5 record in Region 12 play. They entered the post season at No.13 in the final RPI and definitely proved that they were better than a number finishing as one of the top four teams in the state.

The semi-final match with Morgan marked the furthest that the Soccer Club has ever advanced in the State Playoffs.
