North Scott volleyball will be competing for the Class 4A state championship since 1986 after a 3-0 win Wednesday.
"None of us have been in the volleyball state championship. North Scott hasn't been there in years," junior Abbey Hayes said. "So it's a huge accomplishment just getting there."
The Lady Lancers defeated Clear Creek-Amana in the semifinals, after losing to them last year. Now, the Lancers are set to play Indianola on Thursday, Nov. 2 at 12:15 p.m., which will determine Iowa's 4A state championship.
North Scott isn't the only Quad City area volleyball team making a mark in the postseason. Davenport Assumption and Pleasant Valley also played in Iowa's volleyball semifinals today but fell short of going to the championship game.
On the Illinois side, three area teams are looking to secure sectional championships as well. Rock Falls, Annawan and Galena are all competing Wednesday night for the title. News 8 will update this story once the scores are in for those games.
