| Chapel Hill wins PAC-6 final over Riverside 11-7

Cory Coffman: 5 goals | 
Chris Feifs: 2 goals |
Riverside never seemed to get into any kind of flow on Thursday, May 2, in the PAC-6 tournament final, and fell to the Chapel Hill Tigers 11-7 in the title game for the third straight year. Mistakes (three botched clears led to fast-break Chapel Hill goals, for example) and the Tigers' zone defense conspired to end the Pirates' 9-game win streak heading into the state playoffs.

Chris Feifs scores in first quarter against Orange in the PAC-6 semifinal game on April 30

Riverside and Chapel Hill will play the latest installment of their annual battle for the PAC-6 tournament tonight at Chapel Hill at 7:30 p.m. The 17-2 Pirates are the No. 1 seed, while the 13-3 Tigers are the second seed. Riverside got to the championship game by beating Orange 18-2 in the first game of the PAC-6 tournament on April 30, while Chapel Hill defeated Jordan 8-5 in the other semifinal game. As was the case last year, many think tonight's game is a preview of the NCHSLA championship game this year. Last year it was Chapel Hill that won the PAC-6 but lost the state championship to Riverside. [Orange game story]
