Top-seeded Cathedral Catholic and second seed Torrey Pines delivered home victories in Tuesday night’s CIF Boys’ Soccer Open Division Quarterfinal action and neighborhood counterpart Canyon Crest, the sixth seed, joined next Tuesday’s semi-final party as the only lower seed to survive the first round of the playoffs.

Coach Nate Hetherington’s Cathedral Catholic (13-1-4) squad knocked out No. 8 Westview, 1-0, and will now host fourth-seeded Del Norte (12-3-5), a 3-2 victor over Point Loma. In Tuesday’s (Feb. 25) other semi-final, Torrey Pines (18-3-2) and Canyon Crest (11-4-7) will clash for the third time this season with each owning one win. Avocado West title-winner Torrey Pines reached the second round by making short work of No. 7 seed San Pasqual while CCA defended an early goal in defeating third-seeded St. Augustine. (more)
