No Horsing Around: Medway Mustangs Up Next
Swampscott Will Face Medway in Division III Semifinals Wednesday
Medway beat Pembroke 6-2 Monday night in the Divsion III South title game and will face Swampscott in the Division III semi-finals Wednesday night, 8 p.m. at Chelmsford Forum.
Pembroke's two goals broke Medway's playoff shutout skein: the Mustangs, second seed in the South at 15-2-3 on the season, blanked Dover-Sherborn 1-0 and Bishop Feehan 2-0 en route to the title game against 16-seed Pembroke. Pembroke had pulled off the big upset in the 25-team Division III South bracket when they knocked off top-seeded Medfield last week.
Swampscott should find some degree of comfort at Chelsmford Forum, as that's the ice where they knocked off top-seeded rival Marblehead last Wednesday in semi-final play.

The game was originally scheduled for Tuesday at Harvard University, but the weekend storm played havoc with the South scheduling, and the shuffling sent the MIAA scrambling for sites.
The winner of Wednesday's game advances to TD Garden Sunday against the winner of a semifinal match between West Division winner Westfield and the Central Division champ, either Groton Dunstable or Wachusett.
