State Tournament Begins Tomorrow

Volleyball, Boys and Girls Soccer learn their opponents.

The CIAC released state tournament pairings this afternoon and three Berlin teams will jump right into action.

The volleyball team, seeded 18th in Class L with an 8-10 record, plays at North Haven Thursday. A win would give the Redcoats a chance to play against Platt of Meriden on Saturday at 7 p.m. Platt beat Berlin twice during the regular season and finished 16-2.

The boys soccer team is ranked 14th and got a favorable draw. Berlin finished 8-4-4 and will play host to Platt Tech on Friday. A win would give Berlin a shot at third-seeded University High School on Nov. 14. University finished 12-1-2 in the tech school league.

The girls soccer team is ranked seventh and got a bye in the first round. The Redcoats will play host to a second round game on Saturday at 2 p.m. against the winner of Wilton (8-3-5) and New Fairfield (7-8-1). Wilton is a traditional power playing in the tough FCIAC and the home of USA soccer legend Kristine Lilly. That would be a tough draw for Berlin.
