AAA Northern Region

Semifinals on Wednesday at Westfield :

W.T. Woodson vs. Lake Braddock, 6

Yorktown vs. Westfield, 7:45

Later This Week: Final at Westfield, Friday, 6.

Best Matchup: Many expected Lake Braddock and W.T. Woodson to meet in the region final. But W.T. Woodson's loss to McLean in the Liberty District semifinals put the Cavaliers on the same side of the bracket as the Bruins, and they'll meet with a state berth on the line Wednesday.

Semifinals on Wednesday at Madison:

W.T. Woodson vs. Chantilly, 6

Lake Braddock vs. Langley, 7:45

Later This Week: Final at Westfield, Friday, 8

Best Matchup: A potential W.T. Woodson-Lake Braddock championship game would give the teams a chance to settle things after a 1-1 tie on March 30. In that game, Lake Braddock defender Stephanie Hylton scored with less than 10 minutes to play to give the Bruins a tie with last year's state champion.
