With one match remaining in the 2024 regular season, the Northwestern Lehigh girls volleyball team has clinched its place in both the Colonial League and District 11 playoffs.

The Tigers (11-8 overall; 11-4 Colonial League) have won their last four matches, including a 3-2 win over Jim Thorpe last week that avenged a 3-1 loss to the Olympians early in the season and helped Northwestern’s playoff position.

The Tigers are a game and a half behind the Olympians (13-3; 10-3) for second place in the league standings and the No. 2 seed for the league playoffs. Thorpe has two matches remaining in the season as of Tuesday and is likely to win both and hold onto second place.

Silfies had 17 kills and eight assists against Thorpe. Green had 40 assists and four aces in the match, while George posted 31 digs.

The Tigers defeated Notre Dame (9-8; 9-6) to secure second place in the league. The Tigers pulled out three of the four close sets for a 3-1 (28-26, 25-20, 19-25, 25-20) win.
