Thirty-four teams claimed spots in next weekend's semifinals or finals at the Wisconsin State Championship during group play, which wrapped up Monday at Scheels USA Youth Sports Complex in Appleton.

Only one team overcame a loss during pool play to advance: Madison 56ers Red in the Under-13 boys competition. Of the other 33 teams moving on at the tournament better known as the State Cup, 20 of them won all three of their matches.

Nine sides didn't allow a goal on the weekend, including three of the four semifinalists in the Under-16 boys division.

The Under-19 boys competition featured only four teams, with the top two finishers advancing to the final. The Milwaukee Bavarians and SC Waukesha Blue earned those spots and will meet again next Sunday for the title; they tied 1-1 in a pool finale Monday.

SC Waukesha leads the way with seven teams in next Saturday's semifinals at Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee, while the Bavarians have five and North Shore United has four. A total of 14 clubs will be represented among the 32 teams.

The 10 state champions Sunday will earn berths in the U.S. Youth Soccer Region II Championships, which are June 20 to 24 at Scheels USA Youth Sports Complex and Southwest Park in De Pere. Four girls teams qualified for regionals last fall during their State Cup competition: SC Waukesha Blue (Under-15 and Under-16), North Shore United (Under-17) and Strike FC Wisconsin (Under-18).
