SPRINGFIELD SACRED HEART GRFFIN 1, MARQUETTE CATHOLIC 0 (PENALTIES)
In a rematch of last season's sectional semifinal, it was the Explorers against the Cyclones, and just like last year, this one went to overtime tied at 0-0.
The game remained a scoreless draw through 100 minutes of play and both overtime periods, sending it to a penalty shootout.
The Cyclones would win the best-of-five shootout 4-2 with Marquette's two penalty shots made by Ella Anselm and Lily Covert.
A tough way to end the season, Marquette finishes the year at 18-4-2.

FREEBURG 3, FATHER MCGIVNEY 1
The Midgets led 2-0 at halftime. Coming out of the break, McGivney's Mary Harkins slotted one home to cut the deficit in half, but a third goal from Freeburg proved to be too much.
Freeburg's goals were scored by Avery Hasseldenz with two and Allysa Wolf with the other.
McGivney ends one of its better seasons at 12-8-2.

CLASS 3A REGIONAL SEMIFINALS
AT O'FALLON
O'FALLON 8, BELLEVILLE WEST 0
The game between the Panthers and Maroons was definitely closer than O'Fallon would have liked after the first half.
They led, but only by one, with Kiley McMinn's shot proving to be the game-winner.

AT QUINCY
QUNICY 2, GRANITE CITY 1 (PENALTIES)
In a rather shocking turn of events, the Warriors were taken out of the postseason in the first round.
The first half went scoreless before Quincy headed in a corner kick five minutes into the second half. Granite City tied it back up a few minutes later when they followed up on a rebound to get the game level again at 1-1.
The game then went scoreless until the full-time whistle blew, sending it to OT.
Overtime also went scoreless in a dramatic fashion when a Granite City player was red carded half way through the first 10-minute period.
Things remained tied, sending this one to a penalty shootout.
The Quincy keeper saved three of Granite's five attempts as the Blue Devils went on to win the shootout 2-1.
The Warriors' season ended at 13-4-1.
