UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio – Columbus Bishop Watterson won its third Ohio
High School Athletic Association state field hockey championship
Saturday with a 1-0 win over Gahanna Columbus Academy at Upper Arlington
High School.
The Eagles, who also won state titles in 1995 and 2005, scored off a
penalty corner with 7:45 left in the first half from senior Nina Passen,
who also scored the game-winning goal in a 2-1 state semifinal win
Friday over Cin. St. Ursula Academy.
In the final game of the regular season, Watterson lost to Academy in
overtime, 1-0. There would be no overtime in the state championship
game, though, thanks in part to four saves from senior goalkeeper Domini
Paradiso, whose save off a penalty corner in the final minute capped the
shutout.
The loss denied Academy a ninth state title.
