Division I sectional
Stow 25-25-25, Roosevelt 11-15-16Walsh Jesuit 25-25-24-25, Louisville 16-17-26-24
It was a maroon and gold sweep Wednesday night at Walsh, as the Bulldogs (7-17) and Warriors (11-12) each won their sectional openers in the Division I Northeast 3 district.
Stow opened with a brilliant service display, finishing with 20 aces vs. the Rough Riders. Katie Flaherty led Stow with six aces, while junior Gianna Cella had four.
"This was probably our best serving game all season," said Stow coach Sara Snyder. "That's one thing that we worked very hard on and it paid off tonight."
Stow setter Ellie Mears finished with a career-high 31 assists.
In the nightcap, the Warriors' offense attacked from every angle against a scrappy Leopards team.
Walsh was led by Katherine Trzcinski with 18 kills.
The Warriors' setting duo of Cassandra Shaw and Madelyn Reed were all over the court. Reed finished with 23 assista, while Shaw had 32. Shaw reached the 1,000-career assist mark in the second set for Walsh.
GIRLS SOCCER
Copley 6, Canton South 0
Copley (16-0-1) opened the Division II postseason in the same fashion it played the regular season: Dominant.
In a sectional final, Copley got two goals from Emma Stransky. Ashley Kerekes, Zara Warford, Kate Young and Emily Kerekes each scored once. Goalkeeper Kami Ayoup had her 16th shutout in a row, as Copley finished with a 15-0 edge in shots on goal.
Manchester 12, Tuslaw 3
The Panthers (17-1) left nothing to chance in a Division II sectional final Wednesday against PAC-7 rival Tuslaw, putting up 10 goals in the first half.
Katie Norris erupted for a double hat trick for the Panthers, and Gina Tipton scored twice. Lauren Gunsett, Emily Allman, Carolee Crabtree, Rowan Olehnowicz and Megan DeLauder all scored one goal for Manchester, who finished with a 25-6 edge in shots on goal.
