HARMARVILLE - CC INVITATIONAL SEMI-FINALS Upper St Clair had surprised alot of people with their performance in the 2002 Central Catholic Invitational by reaching the Semi-Finals. There is no question the Panthers will be a strong team in the upcoming years, but they will have to add a little discipline to their resume. Kip Guenther's young squad took a penalty at 6:22 of te first period and Dunbarton's Jay Brookings scored at 8:34 to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead. Then another penalty late in the first period resulted in a Dunbarton power play goal with just :19 left by Brent Dalliday to give Dunbarton a 2-0 lead after one. On to the second and the Panthers rebounded outshooting Dunbarton 13-3 and pelting Spartan goaltender Bryan Scott, who was equal to the task until 5:18, when Anthony Sirabella scored to cut the lead to 2-1 at the end of two periods. In the third period, USC carried the play but could not beat Scott, who preserved his team's lead. The Panthers became frustrated which resulted in a double minor which put the lethal Spartans on the power play and they made USC pay with goals from Matt Fettes at 2:38 and Mike Tantsis at 3:48 to break open a tight 2-1 game and give Dunbarton a safe 4-1 lead. Matt Wyles added an insurance tally as Dunbarton, from near Pickering Ontario advanced to the CC Invitational Finals.
