A packed modern soccer stadium at golden hour hosts a high school girls soccer state championship final, with maroon and white teams playing near midfield under the lights.

Cincinnati Mariemont beat Findlay Liberty-Benton 6-1 in the OHSAA Division IV girls soccer state championship on Friday, November 13, 2026, at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus. Toledo Ottawa Hills beat Doylestown Chippewa 2-1 in the Division V final the same afternoon. Seton plays Strongsville on Saturday at 1 p.m.

The OHSAA soccer state coverage page listed Cincinnati Mariemont def. Findlay Liberty-Benton, 6-1, and linked the official Division IV box score. Mariemont's athletics site posted the same 6-1, a 20-1-2 finish, and a 15-game winning streak. WKRC and WCPO both printed that first program title. The coverage page listed Toledo Ottawa Hills def. Doylestown Chippewa, 2-1, and linked the official Division V box score. The Dispatch/Daily Record recap and a MaxPreps recap also listed Ottawa Hills 2, Chippewa 1.

Saturday still has three empty score cells on the same stadium. The November 8 pairings send Cincinnati Seton against Strongsville at 1 p.m., Cincinnati Indian Hill against Bay Village Bay at 4 p.m., and Columbus Bishop Watterson against Hudson at 7 p.m. Tuesday's 3-0 recap closed those semis. Friday's card is two champions and three kickoffs that have not been played.

Who won Mariemont vs Liberty-Benton on November 13?

Mariemont won 6-1 at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus in the Division IV state championship. The OHSAA soccer coverage page listed Cincinnati Mariemont def. Findlay Liberty-Benton, 6-1. Mariemont's athletics site posted the same 6-1 and a 20-1-2 finish. WKRC reported a 1-0 halftime lead and five second-half goals.

WKRC's recap, posted Friday afternoon with an OHSAA photo credit, listed Addy Zawaly's opener at 33:48 from a Claire Young assist, then Alyssa Dewey 12 seconds into the second half. Young scored at 48:27 and again at 58:26 off Dewey. Zawaly added a second goal at 59:25 from Meryck Bogle. Liberty-Benton's Belle Flippin scored at 64:21 from Lucy Baker and Kylie Modd. Bogle closed it at 73:14 off Dewey. WKRC listed shots 19-8 for Mariemont, nine shots on goal, and four saves from Reagan Barclay. WCPO printed the same 6-1, the 19-8 shot line, Young's two goals and an assist, Zawaly's two goals, Dewey and Bogle as scorers, and Barclay's four saves.

Mariemont's 2026 schedule is the season sheet behind that 6-1. It lists an August 14 loss at Ross, 0-4, two mid-September ties, and then 15 straight wins through Friday, with conference marks 5-0-2. The same page labeled Friday's result OHSAA Division IV State Champions and linked a recap and a box-score PDF. WCPO called it the first state championship in program history and printed athletic director Tom Nerl saying, "This is so great for our school and our community." A Cincinnati soccer family that already had Mariemont's 3-0 semi at Heath on the card now has a closed 6-1 next to a noon stadium line that has been played.

Who won Chippewa vs Ottawa Hills on November 13?

Ottawa Hills won 2-1 at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in the Division V state championship. The OHSAA coverage page and official box score listed Toledo Ottawa Hills def. Doylestown Chippewa, 2-1. The Dispatch/Daily Record recap listed Chippewa's first loss of the season and Ottawa Hills at 18-3-2. Dispatch photo captions called it Ottawa Hills's first state championship.

James Simpson II's recap for the Wooster Daily Record, published on the Dispatch, listed Chippewa entering 21-0-1 in a third straight Division V final and Ottawa Hills entering 17-3-2. The official OHSAA Division V box score put Ottawa Hills ahead 1-0 after Kendell Skiver scored at 10:50 from a Parker Moran assist, then 2-0 after Ellis Carter scored at 42:10, then 2-1 after Alaina Henthorn finished a Delaney Marshall cross at 51:47. The Dispatch/Daily Record recap described Skiver's first-half shot from the edge of the box over Gianna Neely and Henthorn's reply with 28 minutes left. The recap listed Chippewa outshooting Ottawa Hills 17-10, with shots on target 9-7, corners 6-2, and Ottawa Hills possession at 56 percent. Chippewa finished 21-1-1. Ottawa Hills finished 18-3-2.

The Dispatch photo gallery from the same Friday used those names on the captions: Skiver for the first goal, Neely in goal for Chippewa, Henthorn and Marshall on the Chippewa attack, Speakman in the Ottawa Hills midfield, and head coach Jessica Kozy with the first-title celebration. Chippewa coach Ruth Coney told the Daily Record, "It's a hard thing to talk about when you just lost a state championship game." The recap also wrote that Chippewa had lost the last two finals 3-0 to Cincinnati Madeira and had not scored in those games. Friday's 2-1 is a different line. A Toledo soccer family that followed Ottawa Hills through the Tiffin semi now has a closed championship, not a 3 p.m. pairing.

Why did the OHSAA soccer finals move to ScottsMiracle-Gro Field?

Turf maintenance at Historic Crew Stadium forced the move. The October 5 OHSAA announcement put every 2026 soccer final at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field, home of the Columbus Crew, for November 13-16. The same release listed 20,139 seats in the Arena District and said the stadium opened in 2021.

That announcement is the venue sheet. It says ScottsMiracle-Gro Field hosted the OHSAA soccer finals in 2021 and 2022, then the finals moved back to Historic Crew Stadium in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Historic Crew Stadium had hosted those finals from 1999 through 2020. The 2026 move also relocates other fall and winter events off Historic Crew Stadium so the pitch for this championship weekend stays in the condition the association wanted. The 2026 state finals schedule PDF prints the address as 96 Columbus Crew Way, Columbus, Ohio, under the ScottsMiracle-Gro Stadium name.

Friday used that field twice. Saturday uses it three more times before the boys tournament takes Sunday and Monday. The 2025 Crew Stadium titles were the last girls weekend on the old name. A rec director who still has Crew Stadium on a printed flyer has the wrong address for this weekend. Columbus soccer families already had the Arena District on the pairings. They now have two Friday scores on that same card.

A gold trophy stood on a navy-draped table at midfield, a soccer ball beside it under confetti and the stadium lights. Saturday still has three girls championships on the same pitch.

Who plays in Saturday's girls soccer state championships?

Seton against Strongsville at 1 p.m. in Division I, Indian Hill against Bay Village Bay at 4 p.m. in Division III, and Bishop Watterson against Hudson at 7 p.m. in Division II. All three championships are at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on Saturday, November 14. The November 8 pairings and the coverage page print those times. Saturday's score cells are still blank.

WCPO's Friday Mariemont recap listed Seton at 22-0, Strongsville at 15-3-3, Indian Hill at 18-0-4, and Bay Village Bay at 21-2 entering Saturday. The Columbus Dispatch recap of Strongsville's semi had already printed Strongsville 15-3-3 after a 2-0 win over Upper Arlington. The Morning Journal's November 13 Division III capsule listed the same Bay 21-2 and Indian Hill 18-0-4 records, plus Bay's tournament path of 8-0, 4-0, 7-0, 4-0, 6-0, and 7-2 over Gilmour, and Indian Hill's path of 7-0, 4-1, 4-0, 2-1, 1-0, and 2-1 over Bexley. That capsule also wrote that Bay's 2024 and 2025 state titles were both 1-0 results.

The Akron Beacon Journal preview published on the Dispatch listed Hudson at 21-0 and Watterson at 18-1-2 for the 7 p.m. Division II final. It placed Hudson's 2025 title-game loss at 3-2 against Whitehouse Anthony Wayne at Historic Crew Stadium, a score already on the 2025 Crew Stadium post, and called this year's final a rematch of last year's state semi, which Hudson won 2-0. Watterson reached Saturday by beating Avon 4-0 on Tuesday. Hudson reached Saturday by beating St. Ursula 3-2. Those Tuesday scores are on the Seton 3-0 recap. Saturday still has no posted championship score for any of the three games.

Saturday, November 14 girls soccer state championships at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field. Kickoffs from the November 8 pairings and the OHSAA coverage page. Score cells are blank because those games have not been played.

When does Seton play Strongsville?

Saturday, November 14, at 1 p.m. at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus. The November 8 pairings and the OHSAA coverage page both print that Division I championship. Seton reached it by beating Mason 3-0 at Princeton on November 10. Strongsville reached it by beating Upper Arlington 2-0 at Clear Fork the same night.

That 3-0 is the line already on Tuesday's recap. WCPO listed Seton 22-0 on Friday and ranked the Saints No. 5 nationally by MaxPreps. MaxPreps also posted a Division I preview that listed Seton 22-0, Strongsville 15-3-3, a 22-game Seton winning streak, and a six-game Strongsville winning streak into Saturday. Upper Arlington had beaten Seton 1-0 in the 2025 Division I championship at Historic Crew Stadium. Saturday's opponent is Strongsville, not Upper Arlington, and the stadium name is ScottsMiracle-Gro Field.

A 3-0 semi and a 2-0 semi are different warm-ups for the same 1 p.m. kickoff. The championship still has one printed time. Indian Hill's 4 p.m. line and Watterson's 7 p.m. line sit on that same Saturday card. A house that already had Seton on Tuesday now has to keep Princeton closed and the Arena District open. The coverage page is the live sheet after Friday's two scores.

Where can I watch the remaining girls soccer finals?

At ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus on Saturday, November 14. Division I is 1 p.m., Division III is 4 p.m., and Division II is 7 p.m. Tickets are listed at ohsaa.org/tickets. The October 5 announcement and the November 8 pairings both say every contest streams on the NFHS Network.

Friday's two championships are closed. Division IV is a 6-1. Division V is a 2-1. Saturday's three championships are open. Boys championships then use the same stadium on Sunday, November 15, and Monday, November 16, a card already on the Wednesday boys recap. The coverage page remains the live sheet if a Saturday score posts after this recap. The statewide girls soccer bracket still holds the regional path that fed those ten Tuesday semis.

  • Friday, November 13, noon: Division IV, Mariemont 6, Liberty-Benton 1, at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field (OHSAA coverage page; Mariemont athletics; WKRC; WCPO).
  • Friday, November 13, 3 p.m.: Division V, Ottawa Hills 2, Chippewa 1, at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field (OHSAA coverage page and official box score; Dispatch/Daily Record recap; MaxPreps recap).

  • Saturday, November 14, 7 p.m.: Division II, Bishop Watterson against Hudson, at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field (pairings; coverage page). Score not posted.

Mariemont's line was 6-1 at noon. Ottawa Hills's line was 2-1 at 3 p.m. Seton, Indian Hill, and Watterson still have Saturday times on one Columbus stadium card. A director who needs those three remaining kickoffs on one schedule can request a demo. A brand that wants that Arena District sideline can sponsor a game. Coaches Pick stays free for league owners, and families already open it from the home page.
