FINAL FOUR SET
The Top four seeds all advanced to the semifinals today at Burnsville.

#1 Harding I reported on yesterday.

They will be facing #4 Central. Central beat Washburn 7-0 in the Sweet 16 round and then eliminated Highland Park in the quarters 5-2. That was the closest quarterfinal score. HP beat Central 4-3 on May 1.
Highland Park made it to the quarters with a 5-2 win over Como Park.

Eden Prairie beat Burnsville 6-1 in the quarters. It was the third meeting between the two teams and second win in a row for EP. Last week EP won 4-3.

The only upset in the sweet 16 round was #10 Humboldt's 4-3 win over #7 South. Humboldt then faced Johnson in the quarters and were swept 7-0. Johnson had earlier swept Southwest.

So today at Burnsville at 4 pm for the semis it will be #1 Harding vs #4 Central and #2 Johnson vs #3 Eden Prairie crashing the St. Paul schools. The Finals will follow. I should be there close to four.

Next up: the finals later today.
