Northeast

had

Franklin Towne Charter

's number in girls' soccer this season.

Until yesterday.

In the most meaningful game between the teams, the District 12 Class AAA semifinals at Simon Gratz, Christina Hyatt scored two goals, including a second-half game-winner, to give the Coyotes (9-3-2) a 3-2 win.

It was the first-ever win for Franklin Towne Charter over Northeast and meant a trip to the title game on Wednesday against Central.

The winner of that game gets an automatic trip to the state tournament.

Hyatt's second goal broke a 2-2 tie in the second half, an 18-yard blast that found the corner of the net.

Stefanie Dietrich also scored for FTC to give it a 2-0 lead and sophomore goalie Colleen Dwyer made 15 saves.

Northeast defeated Franklin Towne Charter by a pair of 2-1 scores in the regular season.

Perennial power Central earned its spot in the final with a 2-0 win over Masterman in a game played at Northeast.

The game was stopped because of rain with 4 minutes, 30 seconds left to play, but the result was ruled official by agreement of both teams.

Kirsten Quinn and Jess Phillips scored the goals and Tina Baker had four saves for the Lancers (14-2-1).

Boys' Volleyball

Kensington

earned its first trip to the state Class AAA tournament with a 3-1 win over

Washington

in a District 12 Class AAA semifinal.

The Tigers (10-1) now join Central as the two qualifiers for the states.

Central earned its spot with a 3-1 win over Southern in the other semifinal.

The two will travel to Lincoln tomorrow to compete for the district title.

Kensington defeated Washington by game scores of 25-17, 20-25, 25-14 and 25-18, getting 17 kills from Manny Acosta and six blocks from Hector Phen.

Central beat Southern by scores of 17-25, 25-21, 25-23 and 25-17 as Phil Wong had 14 kills and Kahri Jones added 12 kills.

District 12 Class AA. In one semifinal, Dean Dimitruk had 42 assists for CAPA in its 3-1 win over visiting Franklin Learning Center. The Pegasus, who won by game scores of 25-20, 25-13, 28-30 and 25-23, also got 24 kills from Ronald Roberts.

CAPA's foe in tomorrow's title game at Southern (3:15 p.m.) will be rival Masterman.

The Blue Dragons earned their spot with a 3-0 win over Parkway, getting seven kills from Sam Jung and 10 aces from J.P. Custodio. They won by game scores of 25-8, 25-10 and 25-6.

CAPA will be vying for its first trip to the states, while Masterman will be going for trip No. 3. Only one AA team from the district advances.

Baseball

Abington Friends

came away with both individual and team honors at the Friends Schools League Championships.

The Kangaroos earned the team title by a formula that counted both the league wins during the season and championship standings, even though they finished tied in the final team standings with Shipley (both at 176).

Abington Friends' Andrew Mason won the individual title was by just one stroke, shooting a 2-under-par 34 to nip Shipley's Austin Anthony (35).
