Liberty-Benton girls soccer falls to Cincinnati Mariemont in Division IV state championship

COLUMBUS — Cincinnati Mariemont’s continuous attacking pressure was too much for the Liberty-Benton girls soccer team, as the Eagles fell 6-1 on Friday in the OHSAA Division IV girls soccer state championship. The Warriors scored five goals in the second half, with four coming inside 20 minutes of the halftime break. That helped Mariemont hold a 9-5 final shots-on-goal advantage. The result sees Liberty-Benton finish as state runners-up for the second time in program history. “I can’t be more proud of the girls. It’s been a really special year,” Liberty-Benton coach Andy Modd said. “They played one game at a time, and it’s been that approach. We’ve always had this game in our sights from February, to be honest. The look in their eyes as they started open fields, all led by this group behind me and around me, we could definitely see the determination as the season progressed.” The Eagles were competitive in the opening half, surrendering a lone goal, but Mariemont wasted little time taking control from there, scoring 12 seconds into the second half. The duo of Claire Young and Adday Zawaly netted two goals each. Alyssa Dewey and Meryck Bogle were the other goal scorers. Before
