2017 STATE TOURNAMENT SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD - A Madison West First!
The MADISON WEST MEN'S VARSITY SOCCER TEAM had an amazing run through the 2017 playoffs - beating Janesville Craig, Oconomowoc, Sun Prairie and Middleton to earn a spot in the WIAA Division 1 State Tournament. In the State Semi-final match in Milwaukee, the team lost in overtime to eventual Division 1 champion, Marquette. Although the team lost in the semi-finals, they succeeded where no other Madison West team (in any sport) had before when the
Men's Soccer Team was awarded the Fall State Tournament Sportsmanship Award - first ever for a Madison West team!!!!
