Champions were crowned at the 2017 WIAA Girls Volleyball State Championships at the Resch Center on Saturday. 

After finishing as the runner-up last season, Burlington captured the Division 1 title with a thrilling 3-2 victory over previously unbeaten River Falls in the championship match. The Demons defeated Mukwonago in the quarterfinals in straight sets, before edging Divine Savior Holy Angles 3-1 in the semi-finals. It is the third title in program history.

Lakeside Lutheran shocked three-time defending state champion Catholic Memorial in straight sets in the Division 2 semi-finals on Friday, then completed the job with a 3-2 victory over Luxemburg-Casco in the championship match. The Warriors trailed two sets to none before rallying for the win.

Lake Country Lutheran beat Waterloo in a five-set thriller in the Division 3 state semi-finals. The Lightning would face Regis in the state championship, defeating the Ramblers 3-1 to win its first title.

Clayton got revenge on Newman Catholic in the Division 4 semi-finals, defeating a Cardinals squad that had won four consecutive state championships, including a straight set victory over Clayton in last year's title game. Clayton would go on to defeat Lourdes Academy to claim the championship.
