The Eagles' only other appearance in a state final came in 2005, when they lost to Farmington 5-4 in double overtime. Nick Bonino, who currently plays for the Anaheim Ducks, scored the winning goal on the power play.

The St. Joseph boys basketball team is one step away from another appearance in the state finals.

After dispatching Ridgefield 56-37 on Monday, the top-seeded Cadets (23-1) will take on No. 5 seed New London in the Class LL semifinals on Wednesday at the Floyd Little Athletic Center in New Haven (7:30 p.m.).

It will be a rematch of a regular-season game won by St. Joseph 57-52 in December in the Northeast Christmas Classic.

Wednesday's game also is a battle of defending state champions as New London won the Class L title last year before making the jump to Class LL.

The Whalers advanced to Wednesday's game with a 79-73 double overtime victory over No. 4 seed Windsor.

In the other semifinal, No. 6 seed Fairfield Prep takes on No. 2 seed Hillhouse.

Last season, St. Joseph defeated the Jesuits 79-53 to win their first state championship since 2001 and 10th in school history.
