The Garnet boys came up one game short of giving Rye a sweep of the Class A state soccer titles. East Aurora scored once each half to beat Rye 2-0 Sunday at Middletown.

The Rye boys outscored their previous eight playoff opponents 29-1 before finishing as state runners-up. With section and regional championships, it was a great season for both of Rye’s soccer teams by any measure.
