“I am so proud of these girls and their resiliency,” Penn Cambria coach Travis Schluep said. “They have developed a great attitude about moving on from mistakes and earning the next point. Sophia did a great job getting the ball to our middles who made big plays when we needed them. Ultimately, this was a team win. When we needed it, our passers made great passes, our setter made great sets and our hitters put the ball away.”

“Our season ended tonight with a loss to a very good and reputable Berlin team,” Northern Bedford coach Shalonne Sipes said. “We never hung our heads — the girls stayed in every play and gave it their best shot. We knew going into this game that we had a big challenge ahead of us as the eighth seed going to play the top seed, but we prepared as best as we could, and the girls can be proud of their efforts tonight. We will have much of our team back next season and look forward to continuing our progress, but we have four senior players who we wish well and want to thank for their leadership and dedication over the years.”
