Tight on the pitch

The highest 4 groups qualify for the district soccer postseason. Coming into Tuesday’s motion, one recreation separates 4 groups behind the front-running Indians.

On Tuesday, Canon-McMillan visits Higher St. Clair in a key part match. The Massive Macs are 7-3 within the part and tied for second place, one recreation behind the Panthers at 6-4.

Canon-Mac edged USC within the first assembly between the 2, 2-1, on Sept. 8.

Additionally on Tuesday, Norwin (7-3) visits Peters Township (9-1) because the Knights attempt to inch nearer to the highest as an alternative of falling again towards the center of the pack. The Indians gained the primary contest, 3-2.

Lastly, Mt. Lebanon (6-4) is at Hempfield. The Spartans are winless for the season, giving the Blue Devils a great probability to maneuver up within the very tight standings with a win.

One other key match Tuesday has Penn Hills visiting Penn-Trafford in Part 4-3A. The Warriors are 5-4-1, a half-game forward of the Indians at 5-5 in a battle for fourth place within the part.
