FALLS VILLAGE — Housatonic Valley Regional High School’s boys soccer team lost 1-0 to Northwestern Regional High School in the second round of the Class S state tournament Monday, Nov. 3.

HVRHS hosted the game as the sixth seeded team in the tournament. Northwestern was seeded 11th and advanced to play Haddam-Killingworth High School (3) in the quarterfinal game.

Northwestern’s goal against HVRHS came in the 52nd minute by Nicolas Brodnitski.

HVRHS was missing four starters in the second round due to injury and eligibility issues. Early in the game, senior Peter Austin went down with an apparent knee injury and did not return.
