PHOTOS: Hudson Hosts Soccer District Playoffs

Hundreds of soccer players from the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association's East district, which includes teams from the east Metro and western Wisconsin, descended on Hudson for the District playoffs.

The Hudson Field of Dreams Soccer Complex once again hosted the boy's division of the MYSA East district playoffs. Teams from the east Metro and western Wisconsin, including several Hudson teams, competed for places in the MYSA state tournament which begins next week.

Despite the weather, which ranged from nearly ideal on Thursday and Friday, to torrential rains and tropical heat at the weekend, the playoffs went off as planned. The only hitch in the busy tournament schedule came in the form of a three hour delay Saturday morning to allow the fields to drain the massive quantities of water which covered the playing surfaces after an early morning downpour.
