North Catholic’s Riley Kontul is moving on to the PIAA Individual Golf Championships.
The junior shot a 10-over 82 Monday at Valleybrook Country Club to finish fourth in the WPIAL Class 2A Girls Individual Golf Championship, securing a medal and a trip to Penn State on Oct. 19-20.
She is the lone Butler County-area representative playing in the WPIAL championships to make states so far — girls 3A and 2A competed Monday, as did boys 3A, with boys 2A’s final round set to tee off Tuesday.
Kontul’s two-round total was 28-over. She birdied Monday on the par-5 fifth hole.
It was a more difficult day for Butler’s Levi McClellan. The senior ended Round 1 last week inside the top 14 the WPIAL sends to states, but shot a 10-over at Sewickley Heights Golf Club to finish tied for 16th at 14-over for the two rounds and two strokes out of qualifying.
McClellan started strong with an eagle on the third hole to sit 1-over on the front nine but made par on just two holes on the back nine.
Seneca Valley’s Josh Marquardt finished 17-over after two rounds to tie for 23rd, and Mars’ Landon Mitro was one shot behind.
Mars’ Elise Wadas, a junior, shot 13-over Monday at Valleybrook and finished 27-over through two rounds to tie for eighth. She was one shot shy of claiming the final spot to states.
NC’s GiGi Colafella and Brea Kelley finished 13th and 14th in 2A.

Mars 6, Blackhawk 0 — Mackenzie Powell scored two goals to lead Mars (9-1-1, 5-1-1 section). Miley Gratton dished out three assists, and Jade Breese, Alexis Whitling, HB Wolski and Aubrey Tenos also scored for the Planets.
Boys soccer
Logan Mueser and Jackson Schlegel combined for a shutout in North Catholic’s 12-0 win over Mohawk. Dylan DeVore and Evan Sherer had hat tricks, and Schlegel also had a goal and two assists. Five other Trojans scored.
Deer Lakes 5, Knoch 1 — Walker Stewart scored the Knights’ lone goal.
Girls volleyball
Lexi Altman recorded a double-double of 21 assists and 11 digs as A-C Valley held off Karns City 3-2 (set scores: 25-15, 24-26, 25-16, 23-25, 15-8). Gianna Louise knocked down 12 kills with eight digs in the win, and Jacci Dehart had 10 blocks and eight kills. No stats were provided from the Gremlins.
Union 3, Forest Area 0 — Emma Kifer recorded nine aces, nine digs and two kills in Union’s 25-5, 25-11, 25-13 win. Bailey Stevens added seven aces, and Kolstin Wetzel had a team-high seven kills.
Girls tennis
Lindsay Lipp won her Singles 2 match as Butler celebrated its senior day with nearly all seniors in the lineup. The Golden Tornado lost 4-1 to Hampton, though, with Lipp’s win by set scores of 7-6, 6-4 the highlight of the day.
