Behrend and Altoona have competed against each other twice in the regular season. The first time the two teams met, Altoona took the win. Behrend later redeemed themselves with a 3-1 win in Altoona.

Danielle Bemis (Corry/Corry) recently broke Behrends career-kills record and will be relied on heavily to help advance the team through the tournament, as well as Trisha Adams (Fairview/Fairview) who leads the team in kills with 292 and serving aces with 49. Ashley Ordy (Butler/Butler) leads in digs posting 443 this season, and Amanda Evans (Pittsburgh/Upper St. Clair) leads in assists with 815.
