The Crusaders advanced to the semifinals after a dominant 3-1 win over Alice Lloyd in the quarterfinals. The Crusaders had 34 shots compared to ALC 12 shots on the game. Friday was a rematch against Grace Christian where the Crusaders got the best of Grace the first time around coming back from a two goal deficit to win 3-2 to shock the Tigers and push the MSOC team onto the national scene.
