ROCKY RIVER, Ohio (Oct. 24, 2024) -- Rocky River defeated Copley 3-0 Thursday, and with the victory the Pirates now advance to a DIII Northeast 4 District title match on Saturday.

The match-up at Rocky River Stadium pitted the DIII Region 9 10th-seeded Pirates and 34th-seeded Indians (4-13-1). River now moves on to face No. 2 Twinsburg on Saturday (Byers Field in Parma, 1 p.m. kickoff).
