LCC Boys Hoops, Girls Soccer Advance to Finals

It was a great night for La Costa Canyon High as the boys basketball team and girls soccer team both won semifinal games Wednesday to send them to Saturday's CIF San Diego Section championships.

The Army-Navy Academy basketball team wasn't as fortunate, losing to Francis Parker 60-51 in a boys Division IV semifinal.

With a 72-68 overtime win against El Camino, the top-seeded Mavericks (26-4) advance to Saturday's boys basketball final at 8:05 p.m. at USD's  Jenny Craig Pavilion against archrival Torrey Pines. The second-seeded Falcons earned a berth by beating Rancho Buena Vista 70-60 in the other semi.

Matt Shrigley had 25 points to lead LCC over El Camino, with Drew Kitchens adding 20 and David Travers 13. The Mavs led 18-10 after one quarter, but the Wildcats had a 20-11 advantage in the third period to take a one-point lead into the fourth quarter.

LCC trailed by three with just under 35 seconds left when Zach Beery scored, and a Jeff Van Dyke free throw moments later sent the game into overtime tied at 60.

Girls Soccer Team Beats Hilltop 4-3

In a Division II girls soccer semifinal, La Costa Canyon took a 4-0 lead in the first half then held on for a 4-3 victory over Hilltop.

Ashley Doyle scored twice for LCC, with Mariah Butera and Megan Good adding the other goals. Emily Jones and Staci Burland each played a half in goal, sharing four saves.

The second-seeded Mavericks (16-3-3) will face top-seeded Westview (15-4-5) on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Cathedral Catholic High. Westview was a 3-0 winner over Steele Canyon on Wednesday.

Army-Navy Falls to Francis Parker

Trailing 38-35 entering the final quarter, Army-Navy couldn't mount a comeback as Parker pulled away with a 22-16 advantage in those final eight minutes.

Devin Watson led the Warriors, who finish the season at 16-12, with 17 points. Cheik Ndiaye added 14.
