Chantilly and Westfield both advanced to the Northern Region championship game after winning in their semifinal games on Thursday and will meet for the third time this season.
The Chargers beat district foe Herndon to remain undefeated, winning in four games, 25-21, 25-20, 22-25, 25-22.
"We know we are undefeated but we don't talk about it," said Chantilly head coach and Northern Region Coach of the Year Charles Ezigbo. "Being undefeated is not our goal. Our goal is to take one match at a time. We don't need to put that extra pressure on ourselves."
The Bulldogs, led Northern Region MVP Sammy Spees, swept their way to the finals defeating Liberty District champion Stone Bridge, 25-12, 25-22, 25-21.
After falling to the Chargers during the regular season and in the Concorde District championship, Westfield head coach Jim Bour knows it will take his team's best performance of the year to upset the Chargers (20-0).
"We are going to have to bring everything we have, but the girls will be ready," Bour said. " We will come out swinging and we'll see what happens. I am just so proud of the 16 girls and proud of the great coaching staff we have."
The Chargers who boast two first-team all-region playersin Allison Williams and Samantha Reeves have only dropped four sets all year to Northern Region opponents.
The finals will be played at Centreville High School at 6 p.m. on Saturday. Win their wins on Thursday, both teams advance to the state tournament, which starts November 11.
