BUFFALO, NY – Entering the Class B postseason on a five-game losing streak, the Salamanca boy’s soccer team’s season came to a close with the sixth, dropping on the road to Tapestry.
Garnering a 5-11 regular season record, the Warriors earned the 12th seed in the playoff bracket and along with it, a trip up North to visit the No. 5 Titans.
After holding the Titans at bay initially, the flood gates then opened. Notching their first score in the 14th minute, Tapestry then connected on two in rapid succession, scoring in the 14th and 19th minute before building a 3-0 lead at halftime with another in the 27th. Entering the second half, Salamanca watched as their season hopes became bleak with three more goals in a nine-minute span.
