“It’s always tough to go on the road and play away, especially today with the heat and tough course conditions at Carroll Meadows,” Coach Ken Beaumariage said. “We did just enough to come away with the win and sweep the Warriors in league play this year.”

Minerva improved to 8-0 overall and 4-0 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference.
