The 2020 WIAA Boys Soccer State Championships were held at three separate locations around the state on Saturday, with champions crowned in three divisions.

In Division 1, powerhouse Marquette claimed yet another state title, as the Hilltoppers shutout Hudson 4-0 in the semi-finals earlier in the day before scoring a 3-0 shutout of Arrowhead in the championship game. It is the 15th WIAA state title for Marquette since joining the Association in 2000. Arrowhead advanced to the finals with a 1-0 nail-biter over Elkhorn in the semi-finals. The Division 1 tournament was held at Mukwonago High School.

The Division 2 boys soccer championships took place at Marshfield High School on Saturday. Roncalli/Two Rivers built a 3-0 first-half lead on Medford before holding on for a 3-2 victory. The second semi-final was delayed due to bus troubles for the Delavan-Darien team, who saw three different busses break down en route to the location before finally making it on a fourth. Once they arrived, the top-seeded Comets went out to Sauk Prairie 2-1. In the championship contest, Roncalli/Two Rivers got a pair of goals from Tyler Bonin late in the second half to secure a 2-0 win over Sauk Prairie and the program's first-ever state championship.

In Division 3, the teams traveled to Kewaskum High School for the culminating contests. Saint Lawrence Academy opened things with a 4-2 win over University School. The second matchup between The Prairie School and Arcadia was scoreless late into the second half, before Daniel Dreifuerst put one in off an assist from Cameron McPhee for a 1-0 Prairie School victory. The title game was a blowout, with The Prairie School going up early en route to a 4-0 win over Saint Lawrence Seminary to claim the sixth WIAA championship in school history.
