Harpeth Hall outlasted Christ Presbyterian Academy, 2-1, to capture the 2026 TSSAA girls soccer state championship in Division II-AA at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga on Oct. 29.
It's the first championship for Harpeth Hall since 2021 and the program's third overall, including its 2013 ******* le. It was the Honeybears' first state tournament appearance since 2024 and first state championship appearance since 2023.
Harpeth Hall upset three-time defending state champion Baylor, 1-0, in the semifinals on Oct. 28 to advance to the championship.
Alexa Sarb and Olivia Grace Akatue scored Harpeth Hall's two goals. But it was CPA's Livi Langan that opened the scoring with a goal 7:31 into the game. That came off a CPA corner kick 30 seconds earlier as CPA chased its first state ******* le since 2018.
Harpeth Hall (17-8-4) would slowly build momentum after giving up that opening goal, taking four of the next five shots in the game before Akatue's equalizer in the 27th minute off an ******* ist from Sarb.
