The Armstrong River Hawks girls varsity volleyball team won the Section Championship last year and this year they repeated that success with an excellent regular season finishing as Co-Section Champions (with Oakland Catholic). Their 13-3 overall record and 11-1 sectional record earned them the number one seed in the WPIAL playoffs. In their first round match-up the River Hawks hosted their very first playoff game against Shaler and defeated them in three straight sets - 25-22, 25-18, and 25-11. In the second round the River Hawks traveled to a neutral site (Norwin) and had their skill tested against the Hempfield Black Knights. The River Hawks took the first set 25-22, but Armstrong would go on to lose the final three sets which eliminated them from the playoffs.
