WPIAL soccer playoffs hit the semifinal round Monday with matches including all three Washington County teams still in the running. Canon-McMillan got a goal from Abbey Ault late in regulation but North Allegheny scored 22 seconds into overtime to eliminate the Big Macs girls squad. The Bentworth boys flipped that script as Ryan Moessner scored early in the game, Burrell tied the match late in regulation and Moessner tallied the golden goal off the post in overtime, sending the Bearcats to Friday’s WPIAL championship game for the first time ever. Charleroi boys’ match also needed overtime but Arlo McIntyre’s penalty kick won it for the Cougars, setting up a third meeting between the section foes. The Cougars won the regular season meetings 2-0 and 2-1. The county is down to one volleyball team as Canon-McMillan travels to Fox Chapel Wednesday night for a semifinal match with Seneca Valley.
