A pair of players named O'Hara helped
St. Joseph's Prep defeat
Cardinal O'Hara, 13-2, in a Catholic League boys' lacrosse quarterfinal game yesterday.
At St. Joseph's University, Ryan O'Hara scored a goal and his brother, Steven, added another as the Hawks (18-3) advanced to a semifinal date against
Archbishop Wood on Tuesday.
Steven O'Hara, a defender, usually plays defense for the Hawks but joined his brother in scoring for the first time this season.
The Hawks took control early and left the rest up to O'Hara and his defensive teammates, who played well in front of Mike Zikoski, who had three saves.
The game was moved from the Hawks' normal home, Edgely Field in Fairmount Park, to St. Joseph's University a couple of days ago in anticipation of the bad weather.
Tennis
Half of today's District 1 Class AAA doubles bracket will come into play relatively rested, while the other half will not.
Two of yesterday's quarterfinal matches at the Healthplex in Springfield (Delaware County) were completed in straight sets, while the other two went to three sets.
The
Strath Haven team of Forrest Grimstead and Adam Salam and the
Radnor team of Francesco Grimaldi and Riley Baver advanced to the semifinals with straight-set wins, while teams from
Great Valley (Zach Johnson and John Haskell) and
Central Bucks South (Fernando Tovia and Jake VanderPloeg) needed three sets to advance.
Today's competition at the Healthplex - semifinals, finals and consolations - are slated at start at 1 p.m.
The Class AA championship is also set for the same place and time.
Volleyball

Fels, 25-11, 25-10 and 25-6, in a District 12 Class AAA quarterfinal match.
