MIDDLEBURY — Arguably the finest season in the history of the Middlebury Union High School boys’ soccer program came to an end on Thursday, when No. 5 Burlington blanked top-seeded MUHS, 2-0, in a Division I semifinal in what was the Tigers’ first appearance in a state semifinal in 34 years.
Despite the seeding, the result was not an upset. The 14-2-1 Seahorses’ only losses had come on the road to Champlain Valley and Essex, the teams that battled in double overtime in Thursday’s other D-I semifinal, won by CVU, 1-0.
