Here are the pairings and other information for the CIF-SS boys soccer playoffs.
DIVISION 3

Dottore’s comments: Cathedral won the Del Rey League championship for the fifth season in a row, facing little resistance from any of its rivals while going 8-0-0. . . . The Phantoms finished with shutouts in six of their eight league matches, outscoring their opponents, 32-2 during that span. . . . Do Beckman and Corona del Mar, the only O.C. teams to earn a spot in the first round, stand a chance? Well, it’s gonna be tough. . . . The Sea Kings did look formidable in a 3-1 Pacific Coast League victory against Woodbridge. Blake Munger, Jack Tomei and Kyle Mabwa make the Sea Kings difficult to defend up top. “When they (Munger, Mabwa and Tomei) are on, we can be pretty dangerous because we don’t just have skill, we have pace, too,” Corona del Mar coach George Larsen said. . . . Munger leads the team with 10 goals. . . . As for Beckman, the Patriots aren’t a hot team coming into the postseason, having lost their last two games, and going winless in four of their last five.
Dottore’s predition: Cathedral beats Corona del Mar in the final.
