Eastern easily defeated Northern York 25-15, 29-27 in the first two games of its pool play match. That result, combined with two game victories from Wyomissing against Greater Latrobe clinched a berth in the state semifinals for the Golden Knights before the second round of pool play was even complete.

The Golden Knights will take on the Spartans to determine the Pool A champion. The first-place finisher will play the second place team from Pool B in Saturday's 9 a.m. semifinal round, while the secondplace squad will take on the Pool B champion.

The semifinal berth is just one of several firsts for a program that did not begin varsity competition until 2001.

The season also marked the first time the Golden Knights finished as high as third in the YAIAA standings and second in the YAIAA tournament, the first time they won a district title and the first time they even qualified for the PIAA tournament.
