The comeback kids did not have one last rally as Northeastern fell to Maplewood in the PIAA Class AA semifinals, three games to one.
The Bobcats trailed early in the final game before rallying to knot the score at 10.
However a six-point Tiger run gave Maplewood a 16-11 lead, making the mountain a little too hard to climb.
Maplewood will face District 7 champ and No. 1 ranked Ambridge in the state title game.
Still it was a great season for Northeastern. Finishing third in the state with a team that starts four sophomores is pretty good - and bodes well for the future.
The scores: 14-25, 25-22, 14-25, 19-25.
