We'll be live from the Eastern Mass. field hockey finals tonight in Canton, providing live updates and video highlights.

At 5:30 p.m., Winchester meets host Bulldogs in the Division 2 championship tilt. Winchester emerged as a No. 6 seed in the sectional tournament, toppling top-ranked Manchester in overtie in the North title game. Canton outscored its opponents, 12-0, in sectional play and carries a 19-0-2 mark into tonight's game.

Whoever emerges advances to meet Quaboag in Saturday's state final at Worcester State College.

At 7:30 p.m., Acton-Boxboro tangles with perennial power Walpole in the Division 1 title game. No surprise to see the Porkers here after they steamrolled through the South bracket with only a 5-4 double overtime win over Wellesley making them sweat (they otherwise outscored opponents, 14-0). The Colonials emerged from a No. 3 seed in the North and did not play in a game decided by more than two goals.

The winner advances to Saturday's state final to dance with Shrewsbury.
