Shanahan blanks NW Lehigh, advances to PIAA semifinal

In late boys’ soccer action on Saturday, Bishop Shanahan blanked Northwest Lehigh 2-0 in the quarterfinals of the PIAA 3A Playoffs. The District 1 champs will face District 12 champion Archbishop Wood on Tuesday in the semis with a berth in the state final on the line. It will take place at Methacton High School at 7 p.m.

The Eagles jumped out to an early when Zane Domsohn headed home a beautiful cross from Colin Deal just under eight minutes into the match. And then, with less than a minute to go in the half, Paul Ziegler settled a pass from his brother Michael and ripped a shot from 25 yards out that hit the crossbar and dropped down. It was unclear if the ball crossed the goal line, but Zane Domsohn left no doubt, putting the ball into the back of the net for the 2-0 lead.

With the win, Bishop Shanahan improves to 19-4 overall.
