At Rio Tinto Stadium

Alta gets the early goal but the Darts are explosive.

Still 1-0 for the Hawks.

 Davis evens things up when Sammi Swan drills a goal for the Darts in the 25th minute.

Darts nearly get another goal before halftime, but teams will go to the locker room with score 1-1.

--

 Alta takes the lead on Rebekah Wooden's second goal.

But here come the Darts, answering on a Camile Oster tally.

This will be a great finish.

Ashley May scores in the 64th minute for the Hawks. Can the Darts answer?

 With seconds on the clock, Davis scores when Mackenzie Harrison finishes a pass from Katie Taylor.

Guess what? The Darts and Hawks are going to overtime.

First overtime was scoreless. Well into the second OT. Alta's Kealia Ohai has been close with a couple of kicks.

Davis keeper Jamie Wilkinson does her job, sending the game to a shootout.

4-A championship

At Rio Tinto Stadium

FINAL: Timpanogos 2, Bonneville 1

Scoreless after 10 minutes. Bonneville controlling play. Lakders have won three straight corner kicks.

 23rd minute, Timpanogos takes a 1-0 lead. The T-Wolves' Mckenzie Adams hits a shot from 20 out straight on that settles just under the cross bar.

Jaiden Thornock had a breakway, beat keeper, but ball blocked out of bounds at the last second to keep the T-Wolves ahead 1-0 in the 28th minute. Thornock gets another good shot just 30 seconds later. Lakers starting to control play here late in first half.

 Halftime. Lakers have done a solid job of creating opportunity, but not able to squeeze the ball in behind Timpanogos' defense. T-Wolves have done a solid job of creating pressure on counter attacks and hold the 1-0 lead at the half.

Timpanogos really playing well. T-Wolves are pushing tempo offensively with quick counters.
Bonneville continues to get quality build ups, but Timpanogos extremely solid in defensive third. still 1-0 Timp.
Jaiden Thornock scores a pure hustle play, on a breakaway, hits a shot that deflects off a defender into the post, takes a second shot that hits the defender and comes back and then finally pounds home the third attempt. We're tied up at 1-1 in the 67th minute. Game on.
Adams scores her second goal of the game with 28 seconds remaining. Lakers have no time to regroup and the defending champions go down to defeat.
Tough way to lose it.

At Jordan High School

FINAL: Juan Diego 5, Bear River 0

Juan Diego scores goals in the 10th, 20th and 30th minutes to put this game in jeaopardy of a blowout.

Bears have lived a charmed life to this point. Can they respond?

3-0 Juan Diego at the break.

The Soaring Eagle add another goal early in the second half.

5-0. Ugh.

That's the final. Bear River was one of four Region 11 schools to make the 3-A semifinals. Good effort.

3-A semifinals

At Jordan High School

FINAL: Morgan 2, Judge Memorial 2 (Morgan wins 4-3 in shootout)

Oh no. Judge jumps ahead in the first minutes on a Morgan own goal (deflected shot).

After some tense moments, Morgan gets going and ties it on a Becca Rees free kick.

It's 1-1 at halftime.

Nikki Glanville gives the Trojans the 2-1 lead with a big goal early in the second half.

With 13 minutes to play, Josie Mascher scores for Judge Memorial to knot the game.

Should be a great finish.

 Judge has a couple of chances to win it in regulation, but the Morgan defense stiffens. We're going to overtime.

OT: Neither team finds a goal in the first overtime.

2OT: Who will crack first?

Scoreless overtime periods. We are going to a shootout.

Tough break for the Trojans.

2-A semifinals

At Jordan High School

FINAL: St. Joseph 4,  Milford 0.  A real nail-biter for 70 minutes but the Jayhawks finish strong. They'll meet - who else - Waterford for the title Saturday at 11 a.m. at Rio Tinto Stadium.

---

 Scoreless through first 20 minutes.

 Now scoreless through 30 minutes. Millard hanging tough.

 It's halftime, and the Eagles and Jayhawks are tied at 0-0. St. Joseph has had very few uncontested shot opportunities.

Into the 50th minute, and still no score. St. Joseph is starting to pepper the Millard goal, and it's perhaps only a matter of time before Alex Salvo's Jays break loose.

For 72 minutes, Millard held on for dear life. But Tauna DeHaan and Joanna Matajasik scored goals in the 73rd and 74th minutes to break the game open.

Matajasik and DeHaan have each tallied goals again to make it 4-0 St. Joseph.

Credit St. Joseph keeper Molly Porter and the defense for hanging tough until the offense got untracked.

--

Waterford topped Rowland Hall, 10-1, in the first 2-A semifinal.
