PT in finals
Peters Township gets an opportunity to defend its WPIAL title in field hockey. The Lady Indians earned that chance when they edged Mt. Lebanon, 1-0, in a semifinal game on Oct. 23 at Pine-Richland. Cassidy King scored the game-winner.
The Indians will now face the Rams, a 3-0 winner against North Allegheny, in the finals set for 6 p.m. Oct. 28 at Fox Chapel. The final is a rematch of last year’s championship, which Peters Township won over the Pine-Richland in overtime.
