“There’s just so much going on inside,” Tuscarora midfielder Ava Marvin said after her team won the Class 4 title. “You’re happy because you did it. You’re sad because it’s over. It’s a pretty raw few minutes.”

“There’s just no words for that moment,” said Colgan forward Samantha DeGuzman, who provided the assist on the Sharks’ winning goal in the Class 6 championship game.

Brentsville, Tuscarora and Colgan ended memorable seasons with championship victories, but our final rankings are led by the Independence Tigers.

The fourth-year Loudoun County program was dominant all spring, averaging more than six goals and suffering just one loss. In Saturday’s Class 5 championship game, senior Kaitlyn Nimmer had a hat trick to cap the year with the program’s first state title.

“It’s very surreal,” Coach Ann Vierkorn said. “These kids are special athletes. This was our second championship appearance in three years, and you can’t do that without athletes who have completely bought in.”
