Wyoming Valley Conference champion Wyoming Seminary is the top seed and Wyoming Area is among five other WVC teams in the Class 2A field for the District 2 girls tennis team tournament, which opens Monday.
Fifth-seeded Wyoming Area will play at fourth-seeded Holy Redeemer in one of the 4 p.m. quarterfinals.
The pairings were made official on the district’s website Friday following the completion of the last regular-season match in the district.
The district’s three once-beaten teams and two league champions are all part of the Class 2A bracket.
Second-seeded Scranton Prep went unbeaten in the Lackawanna League. Like Wyoming Seminary, the defending district champion Classics suffered their only loss when they went up against a New Jersey prep school in non-league competition.
Dallas, which lost only to Wyoming Seminary in its WVC opener in August, is the third seed and comes in on an 11-match winning streak.
The WVC has four of the top five seeds in Class 2A. The Lackawanna League has six of the eight teams in Class 3A, including Abington Heights, Valley View and Wallenpaupack as the top three seeds.
Pittston Area (3-10) finished ninth of 11 teams in the district’s playoff power ratings system to miss the playoffs by one position.
Holy Redeemer (9-3) defeated Wyoming Area, 5-0, at home Sept. 11.
The Lady Warriors are 10-3 overall and on a five-match winning streak. Their only loss in the last eight matches was when they last went to face Holy Redeemer.
If Wyoming Area wins it is likely to face Wyoming Seminary in Wednesday’s semifinals.
