The Patriot girls' soccer, volleyball and field hockey teams all scored wins on Saturday to advance in the playoffs.
In soccer, No. 4 Ward Melville and No. 3 Northport will face off in the Class AA finals at Dowling at 2:30 p.m.

In field hockey, No. 5 Ward Melville will face top-seeded Sachem East in a Class AA semifinal at Sachem East at 11 a.m.
But the Stony Brook University football team dropped its final regular-season game to Liberty, setting up an uncertain future for the Seawolves – who will wait out next week's action. Coastal Carolina and Liberty are both 4-1 in Big South play; should a three-way tie occur, Coastal Carolina will get the Big South automatic playoff bid. If Liberty loses, Stony Brook will take the automatic bid. For more on the Stony Brook game, visit GoSeawolves.org.
