Basalt boys soccer falls 2-1 in overtime to No. 5 Delta
The Basalt High School boys soccer team hosted Delta on Tuesday, losing 2-1 in extra time in a key 3A Western Slope League contest. Scoreless into the final three minutes of regulation, Delta took a 1-0 lead only to have the Longhorns answer back just into stoppage time. The Panthers scored the game-winner barely a minute into the first overtime period.
Delta, ranked No. 5 in 3A this week, finished the season 12-3 overall and 5-1 in WSL play. They’ll likely finish second in the league behind No. 4 Roaring Fork, who still plays at Coal Ridge on Thursday. Basalt fell to 6-6-1 overall and 3-3 in league play. The Longhorns will host Palisade on Thursday in a non-league game to close out the regular season.
BHS was sitting just inside the top 30 in terms of RPI prior to Tuesday’s game, with 32 teams making the state tournament, which will be announced after the weekend’s games.
The Aspen High School boys soccer team played Monday night, beating Coal Ridge 3-0 for its second win of the season. AHS plays Thursday at Vail Mountain School.
