Freedom’s volleyball team is pacing to stay atop the District 11 4A power rankings, as the end of the regular season comes to a close this week.

Freedom entered the week at 15-1, winners of eight straight with two matches left against Dieruff (3-15) and Liberty (10-4) before gearing up for the EPC playoffs.

The only team ahead of Freedom this season is undefeated Parkland (14-0), who was the only team to knock off the Pates this season.

Both teams could be on a collision course in the league playoffs, as the Trojans are likely to enter as the top seed and Freedom being the second seed when the tournament gets going later this week.

Freedom was the only team able to take a game away from Parkland this season so far in a 3-1 loss on Sept. 22.

Liberty and Bethlehem Catholic will also be in the hunt for league playoff berths, as the Hawks came into the week ranked fourth in the conference and the ‘Canes were fifth.

Liberty’s final two matches of the season this week come against Easton (7-10) and Freedom, while Becahi (10-4) closes out with Nazareth (11-5) and Dieruff.
