My picks

Woodruff - it time for someone to knock off BE
Riverside - too much talent, could be a blow-out
Wando - great coach with a solid defense/backline/keeper.

Lower state sweep.

BE vs Woodruff recap nicely done already. BE was on a mission the 2nd half.

HH vs Riverside
1st hald HH had the better play and better scoring chances.
Halftime 2-0 HH.
Riverside came out in the 2nd half and played much better and with a lot more intensity. After getting their 1st goal to close the gap to 2-1, Riverside looked to tie it at 2-2 but had the goal called back when the ref called holding(grabbed jersey) on an HH player. The Riverside player had the advantage and scored a couple of seconds later. Bad call by the ref who should have let play resume.
Riverside continued to press but HH put the game away with a great play by #10 who created her own shot and put it backside with what looked to be an impossible angle. 3-1

The Wando vs. Mauldin game was very good as both teams passed well and made very good runs. The speed of play was very good from players 1-11 for each team. There were a few scoring chances in the 1st half that stick out. Wando had an excellent chance to take a 1-0 lead when a Mauldin defender misplayed a ball in the back but the keeper made a good save. Mauldin looked to have the better attack in the first half but seemed to overpass the ball around the 18-25 yard line and thus wasting multiple scoring chances. 0-0 at Half.

Wando took a 1-0 lead off a header on a cross with 14 minutes left. Mauldin answered within 5 minutes it seemed off a header on a corner kick. It was a slow motion corner header where it seemed like no one from Wando moved to the ball. 1-1. Wando soon answered off a corner of their own--this time no one from Mauldin seemed to goto the ball. 2-1.

Overall Wando looked to have the better scoring chances especially in the 2nd half. Mauldin's keeper made a great save in the 2nd half (leaping diver) and Wando almost scored off a corner earlier in the 2nd half on a near miss header by #15.
