WPIAL Boys Soccer Scoreboard (10/14/2020): Numerous section champs crowned

WPIAL Class 4A Section 1 (4A)

Seneca Valley (8-1-1) has the upper hand heading into the final week after beating NA the other night. Butler (7-3-1) upended Seneca Valley, 2-1, in their previous meeting. With a win tonight, Seneca can wrap-up another section title. 

WPIAL Class 4A Section 2 (4A)

The ‘Big South’ section as I’d like to refer to, schedule this season has been on nights when the boys schedule is lighter (this week — Tuesday & Thursday). On Tuesday, Peters Twp. (9-1-1) finally were beaten by Upper St. Clair  (7-3-1). While Canon-McMillan (6-3-1) beat Bethel Park (2-7-1), 3-0.

On Thursday, Canon-Mac takes on Peters, Baldwin (5-5) faces Bethel Park in an effort to secure fourth place in this section. 

WPIAL Class 4A Section 3 (4A)

Central Catholic (8-1-0) are chasing Norwin (9-0-2) for the section title. The two will meet in the final regular season match next week, but need to take care of business first. They both won their matches on Wednesday. 

WPIAL Class 3A Section 1 (3A)

Mars (11-0) remained unbeaten and secured another section title in holding off a fierce challenge from Hampton (8-2-1)

WPIAL Class 3A Section 2 (3A)

The ‘Parkway West’ section has been a dogfight. The top four  faced each other Wednesday. Leading the way, West Allegheny (12-1) fought off a tough challenge from South Fayette (8-4-1) to take the crown, while Moon (10-3) needed two second half goals to edge past Montour (8-4-1). All of these teams will be tough to beat come playoff time. 

WPIAL Class 3A Section 3 (3A)

Belle Vernon (10-2) had the upper hand in this section going into tonight’s match, ran into Thomas Jefferson (9-3) who now have made things interesting in the group with a 3-1 road win.  Trinity (9-2), who split with BV already, play Ringgold on Thursday.

Franklin Regional (12-1) and Plum (10-1) have already played twice this season (splitting the series) but Kiski Area (10-2) are lurking close behind, and play both FR (tonight) and Plum in the final week. This section is still very much up for grabs.

WPIAL Class 2A Section 1 (2A)

Elizabeth Forward (10-1-1) earned the section title by beating South Park, 3-2. In addition, Steel Valley’s (4-7-1) close loss to Keystone Oaks (9-3) to put a dent in their playoff hopes.

WPIAL Class 2A Section 2 (2A)

Shady Side knocked off Deer Lakes in their first match a few weeks ago, but now the return match is tonight. The two schools have been Class 2A WPIAL title contenders for the past four years and it looks that way again this year.

WPIAL Class 2A Section 3 (2A)

Mt. Pleasant (10-1) beat Charleroi (11-1) in their rematch on Saturday. Now the two schools tied for the lead finished section play taking care of business. Congrats to Waynesburg for clinching playoff spot with 4-2 win vs McGuffey.

Quaker Valley (11-1-1, the reigning PIAA & WPIAL champions, were beaten by North Catholic (10-1-1) 3-2.  The Trojans next play Ambridge (9-3-0) on Saturday when they can clinch the section title,

WPIAL Class 1A Section 1 (1A)

This is yet another top of the table showdown on today’s schedule — as OLSH (8-0) and Sewickley Academy (6-1) face each other. BCC & Riverside face off in a battle for third place.

WPIAL Class 1A Section 2 (1A)

Winchester Thurston  (9-1) and GCC (9-1) have already met twice this year, splitting their series. If either of them slip up in the final week, the other could seize the section title. Trinity Christian (7-3) and Serra Catholic (6-4) also appear to be securely above the playoff line in this section.

WPIAL Class 1A Section 3 (1A)

Unbeaten Springdale (8-0) have leading the way in this section, but the lone match tonight saw Eden Christian get a leg up in the race for second place. Eden are now 5-2 as Carlynton drops to 3-4 in section play.

WPIAL Class 1A Section 4 (1A)

Seton LaSalle’s in pretty comfortable position but suffered its first loss in section play to rival Brentwood, 3-2 on Wednesday. The Rebels are 10-1 and Brentwood improved to 6-2 in section play.
