The PIAA softball semifinals will feature a pair of WPIAL championship rematches Monday at Mars.

In Class 4A, Beaver plays Highlands at 2 p.m., and the 5A semifinal between Armstrong and North Hills follows at 4 p.m. The all-WPIAL matchups guarantee that at least two WPIAL teams will reach the PIAA finals.

In all, the WPIAL could have as many as six state finalists since the league has at least one team active in every classification.
