SOSI: St. John's Ousted in Semifinals; WCI drops 2 in Tough Pool

The St. John's Eagles advanced to the semifinals of this past weekend's SOSI tournament in Hamilton, before dropping a 54-45 decision to the hometown St. Thomas More Knights.

The Eagles defeated Bishop Tonnos of Ancaster (39-32) and General Amherst of Amherstberg in pool play, clinching top spot and advancing to play Regina Mundi (London) in the quarterfinals. 

After dispatching RMC, they were not able to take out the Knights, backed by their strong contingent of supporters.

Kelly Van Leeuwen was named as a tournament all-star.

Meanwhile, the WCI Vikings also competed in the tournament, but had a difficult time in an extremely strong pool.  The Vikes dropped an 87-57 decision to St. Thomas More, before losing to Tecumseh St. Anne's.  Both clubs are currently seen as "top 10" in Ontario.
