Coaches and players from across Ohio will gather on February 20th to kickoff the 2023 season.
To get you prepared for the season, we compiled a list of the top 2023 and 2024 players to watch this season. Before we get started, here is a recap of the 2022 season.
2022 Season
Ohio Girls Lacrosse is split into two divisions. The state championship was held at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, the former home field of the Columbus Crew.
In Division 1, Cincinnati Mariemont defeated Chagrin Falls 14-13 in OT. Piper George (5G) and Caroline Soller (4G) led Mariemont in scoring.
In Division 2, New Albany defeated Upper Arlington 13-12 in OT. Maddy Paz (4G) and Abby Cole (4G) led New Albany in scoring.
New Albany ended the season at the top ranked team in the USA Lacrosse Midwest Rankings for 2022. New Albany and Upper Arlington lead the way with four girls featured on the list.
Players to Watch
We looked at number of sites and talked to a handful of coaches to compile a list of some of the top girls to watch in the classes of 2023 and 2024. In total, we have 22 girls on our list.
Seven players will continue their college careers in the Buckeye state with three headed to Ohio State, two going to Cinicinnati, and one each going to Youngstown State and Kent State.
