It took a few extra minutes, but unseeded Minneapolis Washburn pulled off the upset.

Senior Sam Abrams’ overtime goal lifted Washburn to a 4-3 victory over top-seeded Minnetonka on Tuesday at Benilde-St. Margaret’s in the Class 2A boy’s soccer tournament. The Millers are making their first appearance in the state tournament since 1989.

“Our coach has been telling us the whole year we can play with anyone,” said Abrams, who found the ball with plenty of room to shoot with 3:03 left in overtime to knock off the Skippers. “Tonight just shows that.”

Luke Peterson scored two goals and Mitchell Taylor added a goal for Washburn (12-4-3), which led 2-0 and 3-1 before two Skippers goals 31 seconds apart in the second half forced overtime.

A goal by Minnetonka junior Avery Weaver with 10:14 to play in regulation evened the score at 3-3. From there, the Millers had to regroup once the momentum shifted.

“We played a two-minute stretch where we kind of lost our focus a little bit,” Washburn coach Aaron Percy said. “We’ve been preaching hard about just being focused and continue playing, so we just grabbed everybody together and said, ‘Hey, be done with that and just keep playing.’ ”

Minnetonka’s Finn Histon scored late in the first half to cut Washburn’s lead to 2-1. But in the second half, Peterson’s second tally gave the Millers another two-goal lead before Minnetonka rallied.

It was just the fourth loss of the season for the Skippers (16-4-0), who scored 14 goals in three section games. Minnetonka boasted the two-time Star Tribune Metro Player of the Year in Suad Suljic, a senior from Bosnia. He had 25 goals in 17 games but was held in check by Washburn.
