The Knights extended their title hopes when they emerged victorious in an 11-7 game over Ann Sobrato last Tuesday. This is the first time they have been to the playoffs in 11 years. Last time they made it, they won they entire tournament.

The Knights will go on to face top seeded Valley Christian on Saturday, Nov. 11 at Independence High School in San Jose.

The Knights led the entire game, riding high off of an 8-3 lead going into the last quarter of play. The team seemed to get a bit tired, as they saw a bit of their lead slip, yet they never lost control.

Standout Annie Bisconti added four goals to the cause, while seniors Parker Callender and Sarah Donato contributed two and one more, respectively.
