It was a near split decision for the WPIAL teams in the opening round of the 2024 PIAA girls volleyball playoffs.

The 12 District 7 teams were a combined 7-5 in the first round Tuesday, with three of those victories coming from the three qualifiers in Class 3A.

One of the four WPIAL champions was eliminated when 2A winner Quaker Valley lost at home to Cathedral Prep in five games.
