Next: No. 1 Medfield
Medfield (20-1-0) beat No. 8 Nantucket 5-0 on Saturday behind two goals and an assist from junior Max Tillmann. The teams have already met once this fall, and Medfield won that one 4-2 at Medfield on Oct. 24, one of Pembroke's two losses. The date and site of the semifinal had not been posted on the MIAA bracket as of midday Sunday.
Pembroke's season
The Titans play in the Patriot League's Fisher division. Their only other loss came in the season opener, 3-0 at Marshfield on Sept. 8. Since then they have won at Hingham 1-0 on Sept. 29, tied Whitman-Hanson 2-2 on Oct. 6 and beaten Duxbury 2-1 on Oct. 22.
Pembroke has scored six or more goals five times this fall, including an 8-1 win over Quincy on Sept. 10 and a 9-1 win at North Quincy on Oct. 27.
Two South Shore teams left in Division 3
Pembroke is one of two South Shore teams still alive in the Division 3 bracket. Third-seeded Norwell beat No. 6 Greater New Bedford 1-0 on Saturday on a goal by junior Connor Hickey, and the Clippers play the winner of Sunday's 2 p.m. quarterfinal between No. 2 Pope Francis and No. 7 Weston at Pope Francis. Pembroke and Norwell sit on opposite sides of the bracket, so they could meet only in the state final.
