Jersey is now 18-14 and plays at 6 p.m. Monday against the host Bulldogs, while Civic Memorial meets Waterloo in the second semifinal at 7:30 p.m. The Knights were eliminated with a 5-23 record.

Jersey Head Coach Ron Twitchell was ecstatic at the performance of his girls on Saturday in the play-in.

"I thought we played a great game as a team," he said. "We had split with them in the season and our girls decided to play defense with them. Now we play the No. 1 seed Highland. This was victory No. 18 and the last home game for Bria (Tuttle) and Cate. I was thrilled both could close their home careers with a win."
