C.J. Dike scored two goals in the first half and Nick Carrascosa added two in the second half to lead the Cougars (17-5-1) over the Panthers (13-7-1) for their first state championship since 2012.
Dike scored in the second minute of the game off a near-post cross from Carrascosa. Ranney evaded conceding a second goal within the opening flurry from MKA, which included a quick-reaction save by Panthers senior goalkeeper Jake Nagy, but MKA cracked the Panthers defense again in the 19th minute. Matias Liermann kept the play alive by forcing a save by Nagy, then Gus Rosen collected the rebound and slammed in the Cougars’ second goal of the half.
