Rachael Kriger caught the early match-up between The Kiski School and Pittsburgh Central Catholic, which started off as tight contest, but the four-time defending PAISAA Champs pulled away with an impressive four-goal second half, winning 5-1.

After the match, Kriger caught up with Kiski’s coach Jonty Loukes, who will now have a quick turnaround as they’ll face Seneca Valley in a showdown of two highly successful programs.  Seneca Valley defeated Wheeling Park, 3-2 in a back-and-forth affair on Saturday.

John Krysinsky was there as North Allegheny and North Catholic met in a Class 4A vs Class 2A match-up of two schools from the Northern suburbs. The Tigers prevailed, outlasting the Trojans, 3-1.
