A stormy Wednesday night across Western Pennsylvania forced teams to race against the elements as section play officially opened in all four classifications.
For the second time in less than a week, heavy weather caused some of postponements and stoppages across the district.
One match even resulted in an unprecedented, last-minute venue shift: With lightning and downpours looming, the Class 3A Section 2 clash between Moon and South Fayette was swiftly moved indoors from Moon High School to the AHN Montour Sports Complex in Coraopolis so the teams could get the match played safely. South Fayette beat Moon, 1-0, as the hero from PIAA title clincher last November, Silvi Rossi, scored the match’s lone goal.
Elsewhere, several matches were called early due to weather, including Chartiers Valley at West Allegheny, which was halted after just 24 minutes.
Despite the rain delays and field shifts, plenty of crucial section battles reached a official conclusion. Here is the full rundown and updated scoreboard from Wednesday night.
In case you missed it, last week, we provided a detailed update on what happens and when PIAA soccer matches are deemed official and other weather-related protocols.
Stormy Thursday forces wave of postponements; when is a high school match official?
