In the CISAA Semi-Finals they defeated Crescent School 4-3 and then matched up against a tough UCC team for the finals and the Vikings came up short. The team represented well at High School Nationals. They had wins against Riverdale and Berkshire and finished 6^th in Division IV. The team also enjoyed a trip to Cleveland to play University School and MICDS. Jacob Stoffman ’24 was the Most Valuable Player. Sun Jae Nigalye ’25 and Joey Tuber ’25 received the Coaches Awards.
