SC Waukesha and Strike FC Wisconsin each had two teams earn spots in this week's finals of the fall Wisconsin State Championships, winning semifinal matches Sunday at Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee.

Four girls divisions in the Wisconsin Youth Soccer Association tournament, which is commonly referred to as the State Cup, are played in the fall to avoid conflicts with the WIAA season in the spring, when the other Wisconsin State Championships are held.

SC Waukesha Blue teams will play in the Under-15 and Under-16 finals, which both will be played at Uihlein's Time Warner Cable Stadium – the younger final is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday against Elm Grove Blues, while the older team will face Strike FC Wisconsin at the same time Thursday night.

The other two championship matches will be played at UW-Milwaukee's Engelmann Stadium. Cedarburg's North Shore United will take on Middleton's Rush Wisconsin in the Under-17 final Tuesday, and Strike FC Wisconsin battles FC Green Bay Orange on Thursday. Both games are set to kick off at 7 p.m.

The four state champions will earn berths in the 2015 U.S. Youth Soccer Region II Championships, which are June 20 to 24 in Appleton and De Pere.

Teams earned spots in the semifinals by winning their groups – each of the 64 sides played two pool matches Sept. 20 and 21 and finished up group play Saturday, all at Uihlein.

Each of the eight finalists went 3-0-0 in pool play before winning their semifinals Sunday; the SC Waukesha Under-16 and Rush Wisconsin Under-17 sides haven't allowed a goal through their four games in the competition.
