The Saxons will face Battlefield in the state semifinals at Westfield on Tuesday. Battlefield advanced with a 14-11 victory over Albemarle on Thursday. "When we need to go fast, we take it to the goal hard," Goettman said. We always look for transition, but we also trust ourselves to take it slow, work it around and be patient. That really wears the defense down over the course of the game. Wagner scored four goals, Kelly Martins and Olivia Sisson added two each and Erin Long finished with eight saves for the Saxons (16-3), who led 7-3 at the half. Ellen Fuller scored three of her four goals on free-position shots and junior goalie Bailey Carver (8 saves) matched Long early to keep the Wolverines (14-4) afloat. In another quarterfinal, Northern Region champion Oakton continued its dominant run with a 20-2 win over Loudoun County. Senior midfielder Jackie Rupp scored three goals and added three assists and Carly Palmucci had two goals and four assists for the Cougars (16-2). Oakton earned a semifinal matchip with Western Albemarle, which defeated Forest Park, 12-9.

The Chargers will face Battlefield, which edged Patrick Henry-Roanoke, 11-9, in the semifinals at Westfield on Wednesday. With the final seconds ticking off the clock in the second quarter, Luke Bowers rifled a 30-yard pass to Daniel Decenzo at the left post. With a flick of the wrists, Decenzo beat the goalie and the horn to send the Chargers (17-3) into the break with a 5-0 advantage. He saw me behind the goal and I put my hand up. I was coming around and he just whipped it at the goal and I snagged it - I don't know how - and finished," Decenzo said. That was huge for us and it killed their intensity. Meantime, Langley, the three-time defending state champion, led from start to finish in an 18-5 rout of visiting Dominion. The Saxons will face E.C.
