Twinsburg, OH – It was a momentous day for the West Branch girls soccer team as they looked for their first-ever regional win in just their second regional appearance in school history. The Warriors traveled to Tiger Stadium to face Chagrin Falls, who entered the match with a record of 11-5-4.

Chagrin Falls struck early, with a goal eight minutes into the game that deflected off goalie Audrey Eaton and found the back of the net. From that point on, the Warrior defense tightened, and Eaton made several incredible saves to keep her team in the game.

West Branch generated scoring chances in the first half but couldn't find the equalizer. As the second half unfolded, the score remained 1-0, but the Warriors kept the pressure on, giving fans hope for a breakthrough. Ellie Tucker showcased her elite speed, challenging the Tigers' defense and creating opportunities for herself and her teammates.

Junior Allie Kanagy provided a spark off the bench with good throw-ins, but despite their best efforts, time ran out on the Warriors. In a heart-wrenching conclusion, West Branch fell 1-0, bringing an end to a remarkable season.

What's Next: The Warriors capped off a fantastic season with a strong record of 12-3-4. While the team will say goodbye to some exceptional seniors who have made significant contributions, there's still a lot of talent returning for next year. Congratulations to Coach Dean, Coach Daley, and the entire team on a great season!
