Semifinal Matchups Set In CIAC Baseball, Softball, Lacrosse And Volleyball Tournaments

After a week and a half of slogging through rainy conditions and/or enduring postponements, 72 high school teams from the state have reached the semifinals of the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) state tournaments in baseball, softball, boys' and girls' lacrosse and boys' volleyball.

Nine teams have a chance to duplicate their 2024 triumphs, including semifinalists in all four girls' lacrosse brackets (New Canaan, Masuk, New Fairfield, Lauralton Hall). Cheshire, Daniel Hand and New Fairfield have a chance to repeat in boys' lacrosse, while Masuk and Woodland Regional have a shot at retaining their softball titles.

New champions will be crowned in all four baseball finals and both boys' volleyball title contests, as none of the defending champions in those sports qualified for the final four this year.

Tickets to CIAC semifinal and championship games are only available by pre-ordering through the website, which may be accessed here. No tickets will be sold at the gates.
