Tuesday will be one of the biggest days of the year for the Wyoming Valley Conference.
Eleven teams from the league — 10 of them District 2 champions — from boys and girls soccer, field hockey and girls volleyball will start their quests for state titles as the first round of their PIAA tournaments begin. Six of the 11 teams will be playing locally.
The WVC has already captured two state golds in the fall season courtesy of Wyoming Seminary athletes. Nick Werner won his second PIAA Class 2A boys golf individual championship last month. Then Ilana Rosenthal capped off her stellar career by winning her third straight PIAA Class 2A girls tennis singles crown on Saturday.
Here’s a breakdown of each team’s matchup by sport. Each team that wins will advance to the state quarterfinals on Saturday.
FIELD HOCKEY
• Class 3A champion Wyoming Valley West (12-5) gets to host its opener at 6 p.m., taking on Methacton (16-4-2), the fifth seed out of District 1.
The winner will play either Emmaus or Avon Grove in the quarterfinals.
