Familiar opponents Peters Township and Bethel Park to meet in PIAA girls' soccer playoffs

Written by Nicholas Tolomeo on .

Usually when teams enter the PIAA playoffs, they prepare to face unfamiliar opponents from unfamiliar areas.

That is not the case for Peters Township (20-1) and Bethel Park (20-2) this year. The two neighboring schools will meet in the first round of the Class AAA playoffs tonight at 6 at Chartiers Valley High School.

Bethel Park will look for a different outcome than when the teams met on Oct. 13 when it lost 4-0 to visiting Peters Township.

Peters Township won the WPIAL title with a 2-1 win over Seneca Valley on Saturday in double overtime. Bethel Park lost 1-0 to Seneca Valley in the WPIAL semifinals but bounced back to beat Gateway 3-1 in the third-place game to qualify for the state tournament.
