South Fayette used a 15-0 run to and held Archbishop Wood without a field goal for more than 14 minutes as the Lions won their first-ever PIAA Girls Basketball state title. Trailing 22-17, SF scored six straight points to take a one-point lead into the locker room at the half. The Lions outscored the Vikings 13-2 in the third quarter, holding the four-time defending state champions to just a pair of free throws. Meanwhile, Juliette Leroux scored three buckets from the floor with three other SF players adding field goals in the run. Archbishop Wood, looking for its 10th state title since joining PIAA in 2010, got no closer than eight midway through the fourth. Leroux led SF with 15 points. Ryan Oldaker added 10 for the winners.
