CINCINNATI SOCCER HIGHLIGHTS
Walnut Hills upsets No. 9 Sycamore
Walnut Hills pulled off the only upset in the Cincinnati Division I sectional soccer tournament, defeating No. 9-seeded Sycamore 4-3 in overtime at Sycamore.

Those games include Lakota West vs. Lakota West, Seton vs. McNicholas, Glen Este vs. Mason and Fairfield vs. Turpin.

• St. Ursula 2, Oak Hills 0, Cincinnati III at St. Ursula — After it closed the regular season with a loss and a tie, St. Ursula coach Steve Dorr had some doubts about his team entering Wednesday's game.
Goals by Danielle Patton and Tracy Veith during the first 20 minutes, erased Dorr's concerns and gave the Bulldogs a 2-0 victory over Oak Hills.
