St. Joseph Academy - 3 wins - 0 losses - 0 ties - We played SJA in the early years of the program and won all three times.

Strongsville  0-5-0 - A perennial state power that we have not been able to beat.  This is coach Jessica's high school where she was a State Champion and All-American.

Valley Forge 10-0-0 - We have played them off and on since 1995 and we have won every time. Currently, we are in a period where they are not on the schedule.
