Boys soccer
Oakridge's bid to win its first Division I SPC tournament title
fell short Friday when it lost to host Dallas Greenhill 1-0. But the
Owls (19-2) will have a chance to finish in third place when they
play Tulsa Holland Hall at 11 a.m. today at Greenhill.
It looked as if Oakridge goalie Damian Peralta made a good save
as he slid out to the left corner of the goal to block Zach Brown's
shot, but Neil Zimmerman took advantage of the busted play and put
the ball just to Peralta's left in the first half for the game's
only goal.
Girls soccer
Trinity Valley will not repeat as SPC Division I soccer champion
after losing in the semifinals to Austin St. Stephen's 5-1 on

for third place at 11 a.m.
SPC officials said if weather becomes a problem, information will
be posted on the SPC Web site, http://www.spcsports.org/, by 6
a.m. today.
