COLUMBUS—State Senator Matt Dolan (R-Chagrin Falls) presented a resolution to the Chagrin Falls High School girls’ soccer team for winning the 2021 OHSAA Division II State Championship.
The team won the state title after a penalty kick shootout, breaking a scoreless tie after two overtimes. The Chagrin Falls Tigers defeated the Wyoming Cowboys 4-2 at the new Lower.com field in Columbus. Chagrin Falls finished the season with a record of 18-3-2, after playing one of the toughest schedules in the state.
"Determination is a hallmark of this team," said Dolan. "Showing this kind of grit on the playing field is fantastic preparation for future success and I was proud to honor the team today on the Senate floor."
Co-head coaches Pamela Malone and Joe Ciuni were also recognized for being named 2021 Chagrin Valley Conference Coaches of the Year in girls soccer.
