MILWAUKEE — The Tremper boys soccer team has suffered its share of heartbreaking losses against Muskego, but this one was clearly in a class of its own.

The Trojans (22-2-3) had one of their finest seasons in school history abruptly halted in falling to rival Muskego 1-0 in a Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Division-1 State Tournament quarterfinal match Thursday at rain-soaked Uihlein Soccer Park.

Muskego’s Zak DeGrave scored off a restart on an assist from Riley Weiner at 68 minutes, 22 seconds for the game’s lone goal. DeGrave took a long, crossing free kick out of the air and volleyed it into the back of the net.

The goal came less than nine minutes after Tremper couldn’t capitalize on a penalty kick in clearly the pivotal point of the match.
