David Chintala scored nine of DeSales' 20 goals as he led the Stallions to the Division II boys lacrosse state title over Chagrin Falls.
When DeSales and Chagrin Falls played earlier this season, it was a closely-fought game that ended in a 10-9 win for the Tigers.
"We kind of crescendoed through the entire season, and as soon as we hit playoffs, they just took off," DeSales coach Matt Triplet said."If you would've told me two weeks ago, right before playoffs, that we'd be doing this, I would've told you you're crazy. They were able to put everything together at the right time, and that's why this one means so much."
The Tigers built some momentum midway through the second quarter, cutting DeSales' lead from 9-2 to 11-5 at halftime. The Stallions were visibly slowed after scoring seemingly at will in the early part of the game.
