WOMEN’S SOCCER

2020 Record: 11-3-5 Playoffs: Beat Lakeside 9-0 in round 2, beat Stow 3-0 in the District Semifinals, and lost to Twinsburg 1-2 in the District Final. One season highlight was beating undefeated Hoban 1-0 at home. Another highlight was having a different alumni player write to the team for each game. The team learned so much about alumni who paved the way. Natalie Shimmel ’23 led in scoring with 17 goals & 14 assists. Natalie & Molly Gray ‘22 were named All-District 1st Team. Molly was also named All-Ohio 2nd Team. Seniors Teah Haag and Kate Costantini were named Academic All-Ohio. Teah Haag ‘21: “I’ll never forget the feeling in the locker room after we beat Hoban. We knew all of us had to leave everything on the field. I was proud of my sisters for fighting for each other. That’s when I knew we were a family. Our coaches and parents were so proud of us.” Lis Ptacek ‘21: “One of my favorite moments was when the team got to meet alum, Colleen Hoban. Before the game, we all made a bunch of posters. We hung them up around the field and had a ceremony for her at halftime to welcome her home! It was really amazing that we were all able to meet one of the best players that had ever played at Walsh!” Mia DeAngelis ‘21: “For the Stow game [playoffs], our energy going in was contagious. Everyone wanted to play their best for the person next to them and for past players. It was amazing to see every girl play for and with their teammates. The support from past alumni, coaches, and each other is what helped us succeed. I will never forget that.” One of the best games was the Hoban game. Hoban was 11-0, had scored 51 goals, and were led by a senior who had scored 32 goals. The girls were incredibly determined and focused that we scored in the first minute of the game. What followed was incredible defense for 79 minutes, and WJ took home the win.

They won the Ashland & Cathedral Prep Invite, as well as runner-up at the St. Ed’s Invite, NCL Championship & Sectionals.

There are no words to describe how much we miss it and everything we worked for.” - Katie Masteller & Stephanie Waltz Whether at practices, matches, or in the hallways, everyone is always having a good time and encouraging each other. This was seen through the handful of matches that neared the three hour mark, while the whole team chats, laughs, and cheers on the last match.

The McQuaid Invitational was held in Rochester, NY, and the girls were able to stay with host families from McQuaid high school and bond with their teammates. Amelia Figler ‘20: “I enjoyed my last season as a Warrior with my teammates. We pushed ourselves to our limits, and Coach Mooney helped us get into the best shape possible. This season we definitely made memories and had a lot of fun.” The Warriors were led by Senior Captains Figler, Emma Lally, Allie Powers, and Maddy Robusto who were women for others every day. The program strives to create an inclusive team centered on kindness. At the North Coast League meet, despite being a young team, the Varsity team had a strong 4th place finish.

They were also reminded of Matthew 3: Jesus’ identity was declared as the Beloved; Abba was pleased with Jesus, regardless of his performance. Lastly, they were “women for others.” Throughout October, 6 different groups prepared & served meals at South Akron Youth Mentorship. Truly, these Warriors were grateful for this season and grateful for each other.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Both were tough, but won with a strong team effort and the athletes showing their will to win. The Warriors also defeated

Hoban in an exciting five set match! Coach Coundourides: “It was a great year! The girls needed to adapt with new rules for COVID and a new coach. I couldn’t be more proud of their abilities in adversity. The players never backed down and loved every minute of playing together. The biggest lesson from this season is not only working hard, but enjoying it and enjoying every moment you play the sport you love!” Amelia Smith ‘21: “Especially in the unique circumstances of this season, it required a lot more hard work, effort, and determination, but in the end it was all worth it!” Katherine Shaw ‘22 and Lauren Bedrick ‘21 earned Honorable Mention All-District honors. Amelia Smith ‘21, earned 2nd Team All-District. As for next year, the Warriors will have strong returners in their 6 rising seniors. The program is excited to welcome the new incoming freshmen, and to see how the returners grow in their leadership roles and serve as examples of women for others.

The Warriors defeated Hoban by an outstanding 49 points. The team also placed 10 different swimmers & 1 diver on the podium. On his motivation, Smesko explained, “My teammates. They’re always encouraging everyone to go faster, and we do a great job motivating each other to achieve our goals.” A season high was Smesko breaking the WJ record in the 100 back with a time of 48.02. Kaden broke the four year record, set in 2015 by Joey Reilman. His record time also resulted in a podium finish at the State Championships, finishing 4th in Ohio. He also took 5th in the 100 yard free. Smesko is commited to swim for the University of Notre Dame. Another feat was WJ’s dominance at the NCL Championship, as the powerhouse captured another championship.

The team took first in the 200 medley relay (Smesko, Lenz, Hamad & Wagner) and the 400 free relay (Hamad, Wagner, Wintering & Smesko). These two relays also swam their way to the podium at the District meet. Diver Jack Mercer also qualified for the District Diving Tournament and placed 18th overall.

The team also had great feats: they won the Hoban/CVCA tri-meet, the Barberton Invitational, the NCL Champs, and the Medina meet.

The memories the team made will be remembered by everyone involved in making this team unique and special.

You are on this team for a reason.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

(2019-20) The Warriors finished the season with a solid record of 12-11 under first-year head coach, Maggie Ferrando. The Warriors played one of the toughest schedules in NE Ohio. The team was led by seniors Katie Clark, Angela Vitantonio, Amelia Figler, and junior Maddie Pietrowski. Freshmen, Megan Taraba and Abby Garner and sophomore, Colette Sutton, were also major contributors in their first year at Walsh Jesuit.

The team developed an identity as an undersized, hustling, & scrappy team that opposing teams did not want to play. The Warriors started the season with an upset over ranked Akron Buchtel, and continued to surprise with victories over top opponents including a win over highly touted Columbus Bishop Hartley, the host of their own tournament.

The season ended with a couple point loss to Massillon Perry. The Warriors rallied from a 24 point deficit, tied the game, and then lost in the final seconds in a heartbreaker. Despite the loss, their effort was consistent with the team identity they developed.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

The 2019-20 team completed the best season in recent memory, going 18-7, and winning the Warriors first back to back sectional championships in almost a decade. The Warriors once again challenged themselves with one of the toughest schedules in the area, playing perennial powers Shaker Heights, St. Vincent-St. Mary, St. Xavier and Elder High School. The highlights of the season were two wins apiece over Padua Franciscan, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin, and Gilmour Academy for a 6-0 record and a North Coast League Championship. Another win over a talented a Lake Catholic team that featured two players with Division I scholarships. The season culminated with a win over Archbishop Hoban in the District semi-final at Copley High School, putting the team in its first district championship game in over 10 years. While the Warriors were a couple baskets short in the district championship, it was a truly great season for the Hardwood Warriors. “This team endeavored to win, to get better every time they took the floor, and they played for each other. At the end, they were rewarded with a special season that saw the team become the best it could be. I am indebted to our seniors who led the way. Any future successes for have been made easier by their path.” - Head Coach, Kevin Byrne ‘92 (2019-20) WJ Gymnastics has grown over the past few years. It started with one girl, and last season, we had a full team. The Warriors just missed making it to Districts by a few points. Also, Sophomore Kyra Dossa ‘22, qualified for the State competition in Columbus where she became the 2019-2020 Vault State Champion. “Kyra walked in the gym determined to win. Watching her was one of the most rewarding experiences as a coach. When she landed, the entire gym went crazy. I am so excited to see what she does over the next two years!” - Head Coach, Megan Mertz The team united and grew closer every meet. They continuously improved their score at every competition and are looking forward to the 2020-21 gymnastics season.

ICE HOCKEY

The 2019-20 season was the inaugural season for head coach, Pete Calleri. While being familiar with the team, he wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. “Any time you’re in a position for the first time, you hope for the best, but you are prepared in case things don’t go as expected,” Coach Calleri recalls. “If you would have told me we would end the season .500, I would have been thrilled.”

The Warrior Hockey team entered the season with a very young team, with only 1 senior, Nate Colasanti ‘20. The season did not start smoothly, with losses in the first scrimmages. The Warriors were learning a new system and continued to work hard every day. Our first regular season league game was at Shaker Heights. The student

section at Shaker can get quite loud and raucous. Our team, as young as it was, felt intimidated, and it showed. We went down early, and between periods we had a decision to make. “A team can decide to pack up and get blown out, or to step up and fight back,” Coach Calleri recalls. “We decided to fight back!” Although the Warriors fell, 5-4, it showed the team’s character, and their sheer will. The Ice Warriors used that game and later beat Shaker twice, including to knock them out of the league tournament. A few season highlights were wins against highly ranked teams, including Shaker, Rocky River, and a thrilling win against Newark. It was a 6-5 victory, with the winning goal being scored by Hunter Nalepka and assisted by captain Charlie Huscroft with only seconds left on the clock. The highlight of the season was Senior Night vs. Holy Name (a highly ranked team). With a game plan to utilize top defensemen, Huscroft and Jake Ambach ‘21, Colasanti ‘20 stepped up and scored, putting WJ up 1-0. The Namers tied the game 1-1 then Bill Holtzer ‘21 scored the game winner in the third period. The Warriors battled to victory, having to kill penalties late in the game, including a 3v5 situation as time ran out. “I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Nate’s senior year,” said Calleri. “As the lone senior, Nate had huge shoes to fill. He did that in many ways as a team captain and leading scorer, scoring key goals in our biggest wins.”

WJ Hockey Season Record: 15-14 WRESTLING

During the 2019-20 season, the program was in the hands of Dave Mariola. Mariola is a 30+ year head coach and was assisted by Louden Gordon and Tom Milkovich. Dave, Louden and Tom were all Ohio State Champions in high school and love giving back to the sport. In January ‘20, WJ beat Padua, 36-21, for Coach Dave’s 1st career win at WJ and 303rd win of his Ohio Wrestling Hall of Fame Career. The team excelled with a top 5 finish at the Catholic Invitational of 26 schools from across Ohio. At the

NCL Tournament, nine wrestlers competed, all finishing in the top 4. At the Sectional Tournament, of 9 wrestlers, 7 qualified for Districts, placing in the top 4 - Jack Schmidt ‘20 (106), Boots VanDyke ‘23 (126), Chase Henderson ‘21 (132), Zach Wiseman ‘21 (138), Ronnie Romanini ‘21 (145), Adam Salek ‘20 (152), & Michael Leonard ‘21 (160). WJ finished the District meet with 3 State qualifiers. VanDyke earned 2nd , Henderson 4th, and Salek 2nd. Schmidt missed qualifying by a whisker in an OT match in the toughest district in Ohio. WJ placed 8th out of 46 teams. Even though the State tournament was cancelled due to COVID, the year was a success & a great step in rebuilding a once nationally prominent wrestling program. Salek logged 71 wins in his 4-year career and will wrestle at John Carroll University. VanDyke was 31-5 as a freshman and won championships at several big tournaments. Henderson had a record of 34-11 during this state qualifying

SOFTBALL

The WJ softball program was poised for a successful run before the season was cancelled. The team returned almost every player from a team that made Regionals in 2019. The coaches were optimistic about the team’s chance to once again win the NCL title and make a deep run in the playoffs. Coaches, players, & parents celebrated the seniors with a ‘Senior Night’ that included a special ceremony for the Seniors and their families. There also were two contests to add some excitement: Home Run Derby (won by Riley Zana ‘20) & Transition Drill (Won by Julia Bentley ‘20 & Mia Desciscio ‘21). “We were sad to have our season cancelled. The players were beginning to gel, and we felt very confident that we would have a great season. Even though we didn’t get a chance for our 2020 seniors to have a final run, their impact on our program will be felt for a very long time. We are forever grateful for all that they have done to help strengthen the program and make it better for those who follow them.” - Tony Scibelli, Coach

MEN’S TRACK & FIELD

The team had 70+ athletes training, & 8 graduating seniors: Seth Carr (Pole Vault), Ryan Crombie (Throws), Nick Garro (High Jump), Mason Lefoer (Sprints), Michael Oziomek (Throws), James Potter (Sprints), Jason Sagun (Distance), Ryan Taraba (Sprints), and Carter Verderico (Throws & Distance). “It was difficult to see our athletes, especially our seniors, not be able to compete after how hard they had trained, but every time I brought it up, our guys would say ‘Coach, it’s the right thing to do’ and that was so comforting knowing the type of young men at Walsh Jesuit who are able to see the bigger picture.” - Head Coach, Joe Vecchio ‘05 The team kept in contact via Zoom, as the athletes discussed their goals & continued training on their own. The athletes & coaches are very excited about the 2021 season with 17 seniors, 32 juniors, & 19 sophomores returning, hungry to compete for the Warriors.

WOMEN’S TRACK & FIELD

The team had 95 girls with great senior leadership. Junior Abby Knouff was poised for an All-Ohio spot in the pole vault after finishing 3rd in the Indoor State Championship meet in early March. There were also hopes to qualify a couple of the sprint relay teams, as well as Amelia Figler ‘20 (800m), to state after placing at regionals the year prior. Assistant Coach, Scott Miller: “As any new coach will tell you, the toughest group to win over are the Seniors, but that was not the case. They were receptive to new techniques, practice variations and style of coaching. I have no doubt that a handful of Warriors would have qualified for States. There was that much talent. The underclassmen will, no doubt, be capable of doing the same.” Once the team was told they would no longer have a season, the senior girls came up with an idea to have one last “practice.” Senior, Kylie Rico ‘20 planned outdoor activities that included social distancing & items such as water balloons. Afterwards, the coaches treated the girls to ice cream. It was a great way to put an end to what could’ve been.

MEN’S LACROSSE

The Warriors looked to succeed in 2020, as they returned eight out of ten starters with great talent on both sides of the ball - including an entire defensive unit of 3 & 4-year letter earners, a recordbreaking face-off unit, and an offensive group with tons of experience and talent. Coach George Wright ‘10: “I was extremely proud of this 2020 team for the work and preparation they put in, not just this past offseason, but in the years leading up to 2020. We had the highest hopes with the amount of talent and experience that returned. We will miss our 2020 class dearly, but they know the important role they played in furthering our program and helping it continue to grow. Their work ethic and leadership were great examples for our returning players to learn from. We thank them for their time and effort, and we look forward to continuing what they helped build by working hard and competing at the highest level in 2021.” The 2020 class was a special class that had 11 seniors, 2 of which are now playing at the Division III level, and 5 more who were 3rd/4th-year Varsity. They were a hard working group that set a great example. In addition to this incredible class, the 2021 class had 14 players on Varsity to start the year, 2 of which are now NCAA Division I commits, and a 3rd committed to a Division II college. There are many other players in the 2021 class who are still exploring college lacrosse options. With so much talent in the program, the future looks bright for the Warriors.
