Ambridge boys volleyball

For the sixth straight season, Ambridge has qualified for the PIAA playoffs, coming in as the No. 2 seed out of the WPIAL in Class 2A.

In its WPIAL Class 2A championship match, it fell to Shaler in three sets (25-18, 25-18, 25-16) against the reigning WPIAL and PIAA Class 3A champion back on May 24. It comes into the state tournament sporting a 15-2 overall record. 

While the team has had success qualifying for the state tournament, it will look to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since the 2019 season when it faces District VIII champion Obama Academy in the first round.

Quaker Valley returns to the state tournament for the first time since the 2023 season. It comes into the state tournament after avenging its regular season loss to Blackhawk by winning the WPIAL Class 2A third-place game 13-9. 

The team has been led this season by junior tandem Lucy Roig and Alexa Westwood, who have scored 57 and 35 goals, respectively. Freshman Katherine Miller has also made a sizable contribution offensively tallying 21 goals. 

While the team has had solid offensive production, Quaker Valley has been anchored by reliable goaltending from senior Emily Reiner, who has saved 69% of the shots that she has faced this year and also accumulated 600 saves in her career.

Quaker Valley will face Wyomissing in the opening round of the PIAA Class 2A tournament at 4:30 p.m.
