Cleveland St. Ignatius 1, Beavercreek 0 St. Ignatius senior Denio Leone's first-half goal through a cluster of defenders stood up as the game winner to give the Wildcats a victory over Beavercreek Friday night in the OHSAA Division I boys soccer championship game in Columbus Crew Stadium.
In winning its third state championship, top-ranked St. Ignatius (19-1-3) went 18-0-3 in its final 21 games of the season and outscored its opponents 26-0 during its seven-game postseason run to the title. The shutout Friday night was the school-record 19th this season for junior goalkeeper Joe Kalt.
St. Ignatius' other titles came in 2004 and 2005.
Ottawa Hills 1, Worthington Christian 0 Sam Kuehnle's 30-yard strike gave Ottawa Hills a victory over Worthington Christian in the boys Division III soccer state-championship game at Columbus Crew Stadium. It marks the first Toledo-area school to win a boys or girls soccer state championship.
In the 51st minute, Ottawa Hills senior Ben Bryant took a 35-yard free kick from outside the top-left corner of the 18-yard box that Worthington Christian goalkeeper Alex Scott punched out of the penalty area.
Kuehnle then rushed up on the ball, a line-drive that stunned Scott and the Worthington defense.
Unranked entering the tournament and never having advanced past the regional final, Ottawa Hills (20-3-0) knocked off the state's No. 1-ranked team, Gates Mills Hawken, in the state semifinal Tuesday and the state's No. 2-ranked team, Worthington Christian (18-4-1), to cap off the Golden Bears' season-ending 14-game winning streak.
