GREENCASTLE — Greencastle-Antrim finally met its match Tuesday night, in the District 3 Class 3A girls volleyball semifinals.
The previously unbeaten Blue Devils, playing at home as the No. 1 seed, dropped the first two games to Northern Lebanon by the barest of margins (28-26 and 30-28).
G-A won the next game 26-24 after rallying from an 18-23 deficit, but the Vikings took the fourth 25-21 to earn a 3-2 victory.
Greencastle (18-1) will take on No. 3 seed York Suburban (15-4) to determine third place on Thursday at Greencastle at 7 p.m. Only the winner gets a berth in the PIAA State Tournament.
The Vikings (17-0), the No. 4 seed, face No. 2 Twin Valley (16-3) in the final on Thursday for the championship. Twin Valley won in five sets over York Suburban.
“Northern Lebanon played great defense and their middles really took control of the game,” G-A coach Corry Eagler said. “The first two sets could’ve gone to either team.”
