WPIAL finalists Bishop Canevin and East Allegheny will rematch Monday night with a trip to Hershey awaiting the winner.
The teams will play at Gateway in a PIAA Class 3A semifinal.
When they met two weeks ago, East Allegheny led for most of the night and was only about four minutes away from winning a WPIAL title. But two-time defending WPIAL champion Bishop Canevin rallied late and won 56-52 for its third consecutive title.
They're among five WPIAL girls teams that have reached the state semifinals.
