Volleyball teams across several regions secured postseason progress: George Washington swept George Mason, moving into sole possession of the Atlantic 10’s sixth and final tournament spot and avenging an earlier loss. Fort Cherry advanced to the WPIAL Class 2A semifinals and clinched a state playoff berth, while Penn-Trafford eliminated South Fayette in Class 5A; Canon-McMillan and McGuffey were also among the teams whose seasons ended. West Side earned Idaho’s No. 6 state-tournament seed by beating Ririe in a play-in match, despite falling to Malad in the district championship. DeSales clinched a MAC Freedom tournament berth with a 3-1 win over Misericordia, and Southwest Mississippi earned the first postseason victory in its volleyball program’s history by defeating East Central 3-1 in the Region 23 playoffs.
