Jet-lagged Luc Soerensen aids Meadville’s PIAA boys volleyball win
Meadville boys volleyball star Luc Soerensen, who was absent for the Bulldogs’ PIAA Class 2A tournament opener, returned for their quarterfinal win.
SHARON — Meadville’s boys volleyball team, for the fifth time since 2019, will compete in a PIAA Class 2A championship match.
The Bulldogs resumed their dynasty-level run with a June 10 sweep of Shaler at Sharon High School’s gymnasium. They topped the Titans 25-20, 25-15, 25-19 in a state semifinal between district champions that went into their first serve with a combined record of 35-1.
The match also pitted the PIAA’s 2024 winners aside the Tigers’ net. Meadville won the 2A final at Penn State University’s Rec Hall, which preceded the Titans’ win in the 3A final.
Shaler reverted to 2A status for the PIAA’s current enrollment cycle, which is why it couldn’t repeat at that level.
The June 14 2A state final will be a familiar scenario for most of Meadville’s current players. Rec Hall is where they helped defeat Manheim Central for the program’s third overall state championship.
Meadville (18-0) and Manheim Central (22-0) will meet there for an 11 a.m. rematch. Manheim Central guaranteed that with its three-set victory vs. District 3 rival York Suburban in June 10’s other state semifinal.
This is a developing story the Erie Times-News will continue to follow.
