The girls, ranked #17 in this year's final coaches poll drew top ranked Brebeuf as its opening opponent. They will host the Braves Tuesday night at 5:30 p.m. The winning team will face #3 ranked Guerin Catholic at 7 p.m. on Thursday night. Lebanon and Bishop Chatard will play at 5 p.m. Thursday night in the other semifinal match as this year's sectional features five teams. The championship match is set for 7 p.m. on Saturday night. The boys tennis team finished its season with a 0-5 loss to a Ben Davis team they had faced three times in nine days. And in girls golf, the girls finished eighth in the Guerin sectional.
