Sacred Heart finished the regular season with a 51-32 win over St. Luke's last Thursday. The Tigers appear to have regrouped after losing three straight league games midway through the season.
Greens Farms lost to Hopkins, 38-32, in the final regular season game last Thursday. The Dragons won six of their first seven league games before losing to Hamden Hall and Hopkins in consecutive games last week. GFA has been one of the league's top defensive teams, allowing 39.4 points per game. The Dragons are 10-0 in games in which they've held opponents to fewer than 30 points.
