The Albert Lea boys’ soccer team’s season came to end Thursday with a 4-0 loss at Rochester Lourdes in the quarterfinals of the Section 1A Tournament.

The top-seeded Lourdes Eagles scored all its goals in the first half and caught the Tigers off-guard, according to assistant coach Joe Squires.

“They were used to the turf field, were really organized and skilled,” Squires said. “In the second half, Albert Lea showed a lot of positives that I look forward to building off of next year.”
