The Mingus Union boys soccer team ended its season with a good battle after a plague of injuries, but couldn’t get enough power points to make it to the state playoffs.

The Marauders lost their last game of the season at home against the Coconino Panthers [11-3-2], 2-1, on Thursday, Jan. 24, and ended their season 7-7 overall and 4-0 in Division III, Section I, with one of the toughest schedules the team has ever played.

The Marauders finished No. 21 out of the 55 teams in Division III.

“The brackets come out today, but it doesn’t look good,” Marauders Head Coach Cade Densmore said. “Our tough schedule really cost us a ton of power points.”

The top 16 teams play in the postseason.
