The victory advances the Lady Eagles to the state semifinals and finals at Springfield's Missouri State University tomorrow and Friday. The 29-0, state-records-setting Meadville girls will meet Leeton's Lady Bulldogs (26-3) at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Great Southern Bank Arena on the MSU campus. If they win, they'll clash with either Chadwick (25-4 prior to its semifinal) or Conception Junction: Jefferson (27-3 prior to its semifinal) for the program's second state title in the same facility Friday at 4 p.m. If the Lady Eagles lose Thursday, they'd play for third place at noon Friday in the adjacent Hammons Student Center against the loser of Thursday's Jefferson-Chadwick clash.
