Area Teams Earn Semifinal Berths In Volleyball, Field Hockey, Soccer

CONNECTICUT — With Championship Weekend looming, pairings have been made and neutral sites selected for the semifinal rounds of the CIAC state tournaments in girls volleyball, field hockey and boys and girls soccer.

A total of 19 teams from schools in Hartford and Tolland counties are still in contention for state championships. Of the 14 games involving teams from the region, five pit two area squads against each other.

Just two local teams earning final four berths won state titles last year. RHAM volleyball looks to repeat as Class M champion, while East Catholic, the 2022 Class S winner in girls soccer, has made the semifinals again, albeit this time in Class L.

Championship volleyball matches are scheduled for Nov. 17 (Class S) and Nov. 18 (Classes LL, L and M). Title contests in field hockey will be played Nov. 18 at Wethersfield High School, while boys and girls soccer finals will be scheduled for Nov. 18 and 19, all at Trinity Health Stadium in Hartford.

Admission fees will be collected by the CIAC for all semifinal and final games, and there will be no paper tickets. All ticket sales will be digital - no paper tickets - and may be obtained here.
