FRANKLIN, Pa. \u2013 Three players recorded a goal, and Jordan Senz pitched a shutout in net as Cathedral Prep blanked Burrell, 3-0, in their PIAA Class 2A girls\u2019 soccer quarterfinal at Franklin High School. <\/p>\n

Alexa Senz, Jordyn DiRaimo, and Peyton Rodgers each tallied a goal as the Ramblers punched their ticket to Tuesday\u2019s semifinals.<\/p>\n

DiRaimo talked about the win:<\/p>\n

The Ramblers took possession early and put pressure on the Buccaneers and keeper Leah Waldsmith. Waldsmith came up with some big, early stops to keep it scoreless through the first 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Alexa Senz got the scoring started after taking a pass from Lauren McCormick down the sideline; Senz cut back to the middle of the field and unleashed a shot from 15 yards. The ball went just over Waldsmith\u2019s fingertips for a 1-0 Prep lead in the 17th minute.<\/p>\n

The Ramblers continued to possess throughout the half, but couldn\u2019t get anything past Waldsmith.<\/p>\n

Cathedral Prep ratcheted up the pressure to start the second half.<\/p>\n

DiRaimo broke free down the sideline and sent a crosser to Anna Johnson in the middle. Johnson had to make a slight adjustment before taking a shot, and that adjustment allowed Waldsmith to get over in time to make a sliding save.<\/p>\n

Another shot a few minutes later got past Waldsmith, but caromed off the post and stayed out.<\/p>\n

DiRaimo capitalized on a second chance just minutes later.<\/p>\n

CC Cacchione sent a high pass to the far post. DiRaimo leapt up and headed the ball back to the near post for a 2-0 lead just over 11 minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n

Ten minutes later, Rodgers took an indirect free kick from nearly 40 yards out. The ball sailed over Waldsmith\u2019s fingertips, hit the crossbar, and went into the net for the final tally.<\/p>\n

Jordan Senz wasn\u2019t tested often, but came up with the save on every shot sent her way to preserve the shutout.<\/p>\n

Cathedral Prep will face WPIAL champion Freeport, a 2-1 (3-2 PKs) winner over Lancaster Catholic, in the semifinals on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at a site and time to be announced.<\/p>\n

SENECA 2, MCCONNELLSBURG 0<\/p>\n

MONROEVILLE, Pa. \u2013 Brenna Kuhl scored a pair of goals to send Seneca to a 2-0 win over McConnellsburg in the PIAA Class 1A quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

Kuhl\u2019s first goal came midway through the first half, and it turned out to be the only one they needed.<\/p>\n

Her second goal came with 14:40 left in the game to give the Bobcats some insurance.<\/p>\n

Ashlyn Barnhart had the clean sheet in goal.<\/p>\n

With the win, Seneca will meet WPIAL champion Sewickley Academy, a 4-1 winner over Bishop Guilfoyle, in the semifinals. That game will be on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at a site and time to be determined.<\/p>\n
