Mount Notre Dame falls in OHSAA field hockey state semifinals

Mount Notre Dame suffered a 3-0 defeat to Upper Arlington in the Ohio High School Athletic Association field hockey state tournament semifinals. The loss occurred at Thomas Worthington on November 5. The Cougars were outshot 15-3, with Sarah Benne, Grace McDonald, and Allison Strang each taking one shot in the second quarter, none of which were on target.

Maggie Peters saved three shots for Mount Notre Dame, but Vivian Swary, Anya Haney, and Sawyer Lee scored for Upper Arlington. Head coach Sarah Pisciotta noted that their corner defense was not as effective as usual, and the girls had good stick handling skills, capitalizing on corner opportunities. The Cougars, who defeated Indian Hill in overtime in the regional finals on October 31, were in their sixth consecutive OHSAA state tournament appearance. Mount Notre Dame finished the season with a 15-7 record.
