The undefeated and second-seeded Trojans (19-0), who finished first in Section 1, advance to the championship game against top-seeded Neshannock, which defeated Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, 6-1, in the other semifinal.
The Section 3-champion Lancers (20-2) have won 18 in a row.
California and Neshannock have each won two WPIAL titles since 2001.
The Section 2-champion Bearcats wrap up their season with a 17-2 record.
