Our Women’s Water Polo team clinched 5th place at Pennsylvania State Championship this past weekend.  After a nail-biter with Wissahickon, they went on to earn decisive victories over Souderton and McDowell, finishing 2-1 at the State games.  Senior Sarah Koehler, and Junior Emma Halle both earned All-State Team recognition. Congratulations to the entire North Allegheny girls’ water polo team for an outstanding season!
