Half of the final four teams remaining in the East Penn Conference come from Bethlehem, as Liberty and Bethlehem Catholic reached Tuesday’s semifinal round.

The fourth-seeded Hawks swept fifth-seeded Northampton in Saturday’s quarterfinal round, while second-seeded Liberty topped seventh-seeded Emmaus in four games to knock off the Green Hornets for a second time this season.

The wins set up Becahi (13-4) with a showdown against top-seeded Parkland (17-0), a matchup head coach Kelly Brown knows will be tough.

“The mindset going into the postseason is to stay focused and play our game no matter who we are playing from here on out,” said Brown. “Keys to knocking off Parkland will be serving aggressive, serve receive, minimizing our errors, and running a quick effective offense.”

On the other side of the bracket Liberty (19-0) gets third-seeded Central Catholic (13-4), as both matches will be the first between both sets of teams this season.

For the Hurricanes, their win over Emmaus kept their undefeated season in tact, even though it marked the first time this season they didn’t sweep a league foe.

“Aside from two stretches in the third set we played great,” said head coach Connor Swigart. “We were being aggressive on the service line and playing with great defensive effort. Lora Flynn set her best game of the year and made it really easy for our hitters to get great looks against their blockers. We went back to what has been our bread and butter all year and it worked well for us. Our middles got more involved offensively and were dominant at the net and made Emmaus uncomfortable.”

With last night’s results past Press deadlines, Liberty was hoping that their goal of reaching Thursday’s league finale at Whitehall was still in play.

With Parkland being the gold standard program in the area, a potential first meeting with the Trojans this season would pit the last two undefeated teams in the area against each other.

“We came into the EPC’s with the goal of winning the championship,” Swigart said. “Parkland has been the standard by which everyone in the league and district has been measured for the last decade. Anytime you can play Parkland it has a championship atmosphere, so if we are good enough to get to the EPC final and meet them there then that would be a great test for us. We hope to get that opportunity and are excited to see how we would measure up to a team with that much historical success.”
