Coed flag football

The same core group of Powderpuff players that has produced three straight undefeated championship seasons propelled Sid (5-1) to the coed flag football title Monday. Sid defeated Grey League champion Martel (5-1) by a 19-7 margin. Martel had beaten Sid 10-7 in the regular season. Sid junior Christi Disch was named Most Valuable Player of the league.

Brown was nearly disqualified from the playoffs after playing with a community associate, but was able to re-qualify when opponents Will Rice (1-3) and Wiess (2-1-1) agreed to replay their matches with Brown.

GSA (4-1) rolled to a two-set win over Tuesday League champion Baker (3-1) March 24 in the first women’s volleyball semifinal, 25-10, 25-20. Monday League champion Brown (4-1) needed three sets to defeat Sid (2-2) in the other semifinal on Monday. They will move on to face GSA in the final.

Men’s softball

The playoff bracket was set Sunday as Hanszen (3-0) clinched the top seed in the Sunday League with a close 10-9 win over Jones (1-2). Previously winless, Lovett (1-2) made the playoff race interesting in the Sunday League with an 8-6 win over Brown (1-2). Lovett’s win caused a three-way tie for second in the division, and Brown won the tie-breaker by point differential to secure a playoff spot.

Brown will play Wednesday League champion Will Rice (4-0) in the first semifinal Monday at 9 p.m. The other semifinal will pit Hanszen against Sid (3-1).
