Recap

It was a major upheaval of District 1’s Class AAA field hockey bracket.

Second-seeded and unbeaten Methacton hosted Central Bucks South Wednesday in the second round of playoffs. A victory would insure the winner no less than two games in a tournament that will advance six to state-level play.

After regulation time, and just a few ticks short of overtime, it was South that was left standing. The 15th-seeded Titans edged Methacton, 2-1, with the deciding goal coming five seconds before the end of the OT frame.

South got the “golden goal” from Kasey Diezel on a stroke. Its other tally came in the second half from Casey Reilly, matching Methacton’s first-half score by Emily Owens on a stroke.

Jillian Heilig gave the Titans 17-save goaltending, which helped them weather Methacton’s 15-2 edge in corners. The Warriors. who finished their season with a 20-1 record and first Pioneer Athletic Conference championship since 2008, got two-save work in the nets from Molly Frey.
