Mendham will face off against Randolph in the tournament’s semifinal round.

Another MCT quarterfinal winner was the girls field hockey team, which narrowly got past Morristown-Beard by a score of 2-1 on Sunday. Both goals were scored by Elizabeth Tolley to fuel the win and advancement to the semifinals.

One of Mendham’s teams took the final step toward a championship in impressive fashion, as the girls volleyball team beat Madison in straight sets Saturday.
