Madison West won its first state title since 1988 with a shutout of perennial power Milwaukee Marquette.

The championship is Madison West’s fourth, having also won titles in 1984 and 1987.

Louis Rowe scored on a header from Jonah Wallace following a free kick with 5:50 remaining in regulation time for the game’s only goal.

DIVISION 3
Waukesha Catholic Memorial 2, Green Bay Notre Dame 1

Catholic Memorial captured its second state title, to go along with one in 2010, on a Notre Dame own goal with 4:36 remaining in regulation.

Cal Olbrantz scored the game’s first goal for the Crusaders just 2:18 into the game before Notre Dame tied it on a goal from Liam West with 14 seconds to go before halftime and the score held at 1-1 until the miscue late that proved to be the game-winner for Catholic Memorial.
