This past Sunday the crowd was in for a treat as two semifinal games were on deck. In the first game, CW Petroleum/Bearsden showed why they had made it all the way to the semifinals. No Le Hace tried to get some offense going for themselves, but CW Petroleum/Bearsden took home the win with a 4 to 1 score.

The second game was a nail biter! Two strong teams, Sullivan Group and Cat Spring faced off to see who would meet CW Petroleum/Bearsden in the final. Cat Spring took the lead 2 to 1 after the first chukker, but Sullivan Group's Cody Ellis, who was subbing for team captain Mark Prinsloo, kept the offensive attack as Sullivan Group led 5 to 2 going after the second chukker. Cat Spring regrouped for the third chukker, holding Sullivan Group scoreless, and scoring 2 goals of their own, making the score 5 to 4 going into the last chukker.
Cat Spring's Kendall Plank tied the score up 5 to 5 early in the fourth chukker, but Sullivan Group's Trevor Niznik put two goals through the posts giving Sullivan Group a 2 goal lead. Kendall Plank wasn't finished, as she put another goal on the board bringing Cat Spring within 1 goal, but the clocked ticked down and Sullivan Group came away with a 7 to 6.5 win to go to the finals.
