After receiving a bye into the Division II quarterfinals, the fifth-seeded Toll Gate girls’ soccer team punched its ticket to the semifinals on Saturday morning.
The Titans defeated fourth-seeded Burrillville 1-0 behind a first-half goal from leading-scorer Hannah McNulty. Kendra Silvia assisted. In goal, Amber Francois saved eight shots.
Only Coventry now stands in the way of a championship game berth for Toll Gate. The Titans and Oakers are scheduled to square off Wednesday at 8 p.m. at East Greenwich High School.
Toll Gate will be the second semifinal game of the day, as there will also be a 6 p.m. game. Scituate will take on the winner of Monday’s Pilgrim-Westerly quarterfinal contest.
The D-II title will be decided at Rhode Island College on Saturday at 5 p.m.
Pats-Titans ready to square off
The Toll Gate girls’ volleyball team pulled off a dominant, stunning upset in the Division II preliminary round of the playoffs on Friday night, defeating No. 3 seeded Mt. Hope 3-0.
Toll Gate won its three games 25-16, 25-23 and 26-24. With the win, the sixth-seeded Titans advanced to the D-II quarters, where they’ll face a familiar opponent – Pilgrim. The Pats are the No. 2 seed and had a bye through the preliminary round.
That game is scheduled for today at 6:30 p.m. at Pilgrim. The winner will advance to the semifinals opposite either Tolman or Cranston East.
The semifinals are scheduled for Thursday at 6 p.m. at URI’s Keaney Gymnasium.

The Warwick Vets boys’ soccer team was in action against Woonsocket in the D-III quarterfinals, while the Bishop Hendricken soccer team was hosting South Kingstown in the D-I quarters.
