Parkland saw their season come to an end in the PIAA 3A quarterfinals to PVCA #1 / USA Today #5 Central Dauphin.  Parkland gave Central Dauphin all they could handle in the first two sets before CD's senior-laden team ran away with the last two sets to take the match 3-1 (25-21, 19-25, 25-10, 25-13).  The win advances the Rams to the semifinals where they will meet PVCA #7 / District XI champion Northampton who outlasted PVCA #10 / District 1 champion Neshaminy in 5 sets.  The other semifinal will pit PVCA #2 / District 7 champion North Allegheny vs District 1 Runner-Up Pennridge.
