The Quaker Valley boys soccer team didn’t lose often this season, but one opponent kept the Quakers out of the WPIAL playoffs — the coronavirus.

School officials elected to close the high school and middle school buildings Oct. 17 after a covid-19 outbreak in the district. Recent exposure to the virus forced the Quaker Valley athletics teams to shut down until Nov. 2.

That left both the boys and girls soccer teams out of the WPIAL playoffs, which kicked off Oct. 24.

The QV boys were the defending WPIAL and PIAA Class 2A champions. They finished the regular season 11-1-1 and would have been one of the top seeds.

The QV girls finished fourth in Section 1-2A after going 3-5-2 in section and 3-7-2 overall.

Quaker Valley (0-5, 0-3 Class 3A Northwestern Six) also canceled its Week 6 football game at Keystone Oaks and Week 7 game against Ambridge.

The QV girls volleyball team also was in the hunt for the postseason but is unlikely to participate. The playoff pairings were to be announced Monday.
