FAIRFIELD — Breese Mater Dei scored 21 unanswered points in the second half to end Fairfield’s season 21-6 in the second round of the 3A playoffs.
The Mules scored on the final play of the first half to lead 6-0 at the break, but a missed opportunity to open the third quarter and three second half turnovers were too much to overcome.
The Knights improve to 10-1 on the season and will host Quincy Notre Dame next week in the quarterfinals.
The Mules finish 10-1 for the second straight year.
A day earlier the Lady Knights ended the Lady Mules’ volleyball season at the Vandalia 2A Supersectional.
