After months of preparation, the Olympus High School girls' soccer team outlasted Brighton in a dramatic penalty shootout to win the 5A state championship. Goalkeeper Joss Baker delivered two clutch saves, while the Titans converted all four of their penalties to secure a 4-2 PK victory after 100 scoreless minutes. The triumph marks Olympus’s first state title since 2020, denying Brighton its first crown in a decade.
The Titans’ championship run was fueled by resilience and lessons learned from past heartbreaks, including last season’s semifinal exit. Head coach Jamie Evans credited the team’s preparation and defensive anchor, Emma Peterson, for helping Olympus concede just 10 goals all season. With Baker’s heroics and a confident, battle-tested squad, the Titans proved their dominance and cemented their place at the top of Utah high school soccer.
