Columbus St. Francis DeSales scored 21 goals in a state final. On Sunday, June 7, 2026, at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, the Stallions beat Bay Village Bay 21-9 in the Division II girls championship. The OHSAA girls tournament page lists the final, and the official box score lists every goal.
That Sunday had a second final. At 1 p.m., Powell Olentangy Liberty beat Upper Arlington 9-8. The day before, Cincinnati St. Xavier beat Cleveland St. Ignatius 13-7, and Rocky River beat Columbus Bishop Watterson 9-8. The OHSAA pairings release on May 31 called the weekend the ninth annual lacrosse championships, with boys on Saturday and girls on Sunday.
All four games used one address: Historic Crew Stadium, One Black and Gold Blvd, Columbus, OH 43211. State-final tickets were $10 for students and $15 for adults. Parking was $10, or $20 for an oversized vehicle. A Columbus lacrosse family driving to a rec game needs the same three facts the state posted: the field, the time, and which final is which.
Who scored 21 in an Ohio lacrosse final?
Columbus St. Francis DeSales, in a 21-9 win over Bay Village Bay. The Division II girls final was at 4 p.m. on June 7.
The scoring summary credits Campbell Heald with seven goals, Anna Bogan with four, and Mary Claire Willison with three. Caroline Cross scored twice. Lillie Bogan, Dylan Hendershot, Lexie Whorton, Marin Kamerick, and Cortney Kelley scored once each. Bay’s nine goals were Jill Tennant twice, Hadley Clark twice, Layla Meaux twice, and one each for Nolie Piktel, Avery Schriner, and Gracie Fitchpatrick. Anna Bogan scored the first goal. Mackenzie Kitchen got the win in goal. Sophia Crimaldi took the loss. Lauren Jones entered in goal for DeSales in the fourth quarter. The scoring summary marks man-up goals for Hadley Clark twice, Marin Kamerick, Campbell Heald, and Caroline Cross, plus a man-down goal for Layla Meaux. The card summary lists yellow cards for Hendershot, Gracie Fitchpatrick, Kate Fitchpatrick, and Heald. A 21-goal afternoon still happened on one field, at one posted time.
Who won the 9-8 girls final?
Powell Olentangy Liberty, 9-8 over Upper Arlington, at 1 p.m. the same Sunday at Historic Crew Stadium.
The Division I box score lists three goals for Eloise Pohmer, two for Aubrey Bartosik, two for Megan Benton, and one each for Abbie Craig and Mary Tate. Upper Arlington’s Evie Ruma scored four. Annie King, Rylan Clark, Ella Smith, and Berkeley Thomas scored once each. The play-by-play has Liberty ahead 4-1 after the first quarter, tied 5-5 at halftime, ahead 9-6 after the third, and finished 9-8. Evie Howenstine got the win. Tori Maurer took the loss. The last shot in the fourth-quarter play-by-play is Claire Iams, saved by Howenstine. Ella Smith drew a yellow card. Pohmer’s three goals included the free-position goal that made it 5-5. A one-goal final and a 21-9 final shared a stadium and needed two different start times.
Who won Saturday’s boys finals?
Cincinnati St. Xavier beat Cleveland St. Ignatius 13-7 at 1 p.m. Rocky River beat Columbus Bishop Watterson 9-8 at 4 p.m.
The boys tournament page lists both finals for Saturday, June 6. In the 13-7 game, the box score credits Ethan Cole with four goals, Ryder Munz with three, and DJ Frazier and August Betz with two each. Roman Dean and Nick Rongo scored once. St. Ignatius got three from Michael McManamon and one each from Zander Boland, Joe Butinski, Oliver Golebiewski, and Peyton Larue. The play-by-play has St. Ignatius ahead 5-2 after one quarter, behind 5-7 at halftime, behind 5-9 after three, and finished 7-13. Sam Carpenter got the win. Callaway Connelly took the loss. Cincinnati lacrosse families already know a 1 p.m. sheet and a 4 p.m. sheet can share one address.
What happened in the 9-8 boys final?
Rocky River won 9-8. Michael Bebie scored four goals. The play-by-play records a lightning delay in the second quarter.
The Division II boys box score also lists two goals for Ryan Taylor and one each for Jensen Boetger, Parker Nesbett, and Connor Nesbett. Watterson got three from Dash Hoy, including a man-up goal, and one each from Will Harris, Drew Dunlap, Davis Seaman, Kaden Hoy, and Luke Ishmael. After the first quarter the play-by-play has Watterson 1, Rocky River 2. The second quarter includes the line “Lighting Delay,” then “Restart from Lightning Delay,” then more goals, and the half closed 5-3 Watterson. After three it was 6-4 Watterson. The fourth quarter flipped it: Rocky River 9, Watterson 8. Gordon Hudson got the win. Kolt Rundio took the loss. A lightning delay changes the end time a family was given at noon. The new end belongs in the same note as the field.

Where were the four finals played?
Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus. Boys played Saturday, June 6. Girls played Sunday, June 7. It was the ninth annual OHSAA lacrosse championship weekend.
The pairings release sent the semifinals around the state before anyone reached Columbus. Upper Arlington played Springboro at Mason, and Liberty played Hudson at Ashland University, both at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 2. Bay played Hathaway Brown at Uniontown Green, and DeSales played Mariemont at Centerville, both at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. On the boys side, Upper Arlington played St. Xavier at Mason and Jerome played St. Ignatius at Ashland University on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Rocky River played Gilmour Academy at Uniontown Green, and Watterson played Mariemont at Centerville, both at 7 p.m. on Tuesday. The winners then used one stadium. The girls soccer final had already put a state championship on that same field in the fall. A rec director who shares turf can publish which sport has the crease today.
What should a rec field copy from Crew Stadium?
The field, the start, and which game is 1 p.m. versus 4 p.m. Saturday had two boys finals. Sunday had two girls finals.
Four start times, one address, two days. A house program can do the same with a shorter card: Field 1 at 9:00 a.m. for the younger draw, Field 1 again at 11:00 a.m. for the older draw, and a note when lightning moves the second game. Put that line in the league dashboard before a coach texts a field change from the parking lot. The shared-turf post is the weekday version of the same permit. State-final tickets told students $10 and adults $15 before they parked. A rec note can tell a family which door and which crease.
Which cities should post the field before the drive?
Any city whose turf already hosts lacrosse and soccer on the same weekend.
Columbus had Crew Stadium for four championships. Cleveland had St. Ignatius in the 13-7 final, Bay in the 21-9 final, and Rocky River in the 9-8 final. Cincinnati had St. Xavier’s 13-7 win and Mariemont in two semifinals. A Cleveland lacrosse Saturday can hold a youth game an hour after a school practice on the same turf. Columbus lacrosse already shares that kind of hour with soccer. The field number belongs in the same message as the address.
What should a director check before a Sunday final?
The field has a start, an end, and a weather line. A 21-9 game and a 9-8 game still need two different whistles.
- The morning game and the afternoon game are separate lines.
- The field number is visible before the parking lot.
- A lightning delay replaces the original end time the same day.
- Lacrosse and soccer are separate lines when they share the turf.
- A family with two athletes can tell which whistle is which.
- If you cite the weekend, cite the source: the OHSAA box scores for 21-9, 9-8, and 13-7.
DeSales’ title was 21 goals, with seven from Heald. Liberty’s title was a 9-8 game that was tied at halftime. St. Xavier’s title was 13-7. Rocky River’s title was 9-8 after a lightning delay. The state wrote all four down. A rec league can write the field down. Brands that want to be on that turf can sponsor a game. Directors can request a demo. Coaches Pick stays free for league owners, including the home page families already use to find a league.
