The Wolfpack will now take on the #2 seed in Division II, Sacramento.
Elsewhere in local girls' playoff basketball, Elk Grove lost to Antelope, 52-49.
In Division I action, Sheldon lost to Nevada Union, 77-47, and Monterey Trail, the Delta Valley Conference regular season champs, lost in a close one, 51-49.
Also in D-I, Pleasant Grove defeated Lincoln of Stockton, 55-53. The Eagles are the sixth seed and they'll play at #3 Napa on Thursday.
In Division III, Florin defeated Dixon, 55-34. The Panthers will face Christian Brothers in the next round.

In Division VI, Victory Christian easily defeated Wilton Christian, 57-33.
Here are the rest of the girls' scores from Tuesday. (Note how many blowouts there were. Are 16 playoff teams in each division too many?)
