North Allegheny's eight-year reign as the top Class 4A girls volleyball team in Pennsylvania came to an end in the WPIAL semifinals Wednesday night.

Fifth-seeded Pine-Richland, which had lost to North Allegheny in four games twice in the regular season, pulled off a sweep of the top-seeded Tigers, 27-25, 25-17, 25-20.

Because the WPIAL receives only two bids to the Class 4A state tournament, North Allegheny (12-3), which also won the last two WPIAL titles, will not advance.

The Rams (13-5) will meet second-seeded Peters Township in the finals Saturday at Peters Township at a time to be determined.

Peters Township (12-2) earned its spot in the finals with a sweep of No. 6 North Catholic (10-5) with scores of 25-21, 25-23 and 25-20.

Class A - The top seed in Class A was also ousted when No. 4 Eden Christian (12-3) defeated No. 1 Frazier (13-3) in four games, 25-14, 25-17, 21-25, 25-23.

Maddie Salisbury led the Commodores with 17 kills and 12 service points. Addison Schultz had 14 kills and four blocks.

The Warriors will meet No. 6 Serra Catholic (14-5) in the finals Saturday. The Eagles got past No. 7 California (14-5) in five games, 25-22, 25-19, 22-25, 21-25 and 15-8.
