In the opener NDA takes care of business beating Holmes 10-0.

The second game was a battle.  HC and Beechwood have already faced each other twice this season.  Beechwood won the All A regional finals 1-0 and won the district seeding game in PKs after 0-0 in regulation and overtime. Beechwood has won the last 8 meetings.  In the first half Beechwood had two opportunities to score when the HC goalie came off the line to attack the ball.  The first was a shot hit off the near post and was cleared by HC.  The second was stopped by defender Lehmkuhl clearing the shot with a header. It would definitely have gone in.  The game was pretty much back-and-forth.  Beechwood had two corner kicks that were stopped by goalkeeper Klais. Holy Cross finally scored with about five minutes left in the game. Tetzel passed to MacDonald who to Craft back to MacDonald, who crossed the Donnellan who got off a shot after the ball bounced around and put it in the back of the net.  HC held on for the last five minutes to advance to the district finals for the first time in four years.  

NDA wins in the finals 3-0. NDA scored in the first ten seconds and dominated the first half leading at halftime 3-0.  HC settled down and played better the second half but just couldn’t get much offense going. HC defended quite a few corner kicks well and didn’t give up any goals in the second half.  I believe the draw is Saturday.  Good luck to both teams.
