Chaska pulled away as the second half wore on and eventually settled into a comfortable 76-57 victory over St. Francis in Wednesday's Class 4A girls' basketball state quarterfinal. The Hawks led by just four at halftime but built their lead to 61-44 with a little less than 8 minutes left.
With the victory, Chaska moves on to face Lake Conference rival Lakeville North in the semifinals tomorrow evening. The teams met just once during the regular season, with No. 1-seeded Lakeville North taking a 67-50 victory.
