Norwalk's Daniels is All-Ohio second team
Nov. 15—COLUMBUS — For a third time in her career, Norwalk High School girls soccer standout Nyah Daniels was recognized among the best in the state.
Daniels was named to the Division II All-Ohio second team on Monday, the Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association announced on Monday.
Daniels finished with 36 goals and eight assists this season for the Truckers (8-6-2). Her 144 career goals will unofficially put her fourth all-time in OHSAA history in the category.
As a sophomore in 2019, Daniels finished with 40 goals, then surged up to 45 goals in 2020. Her 45 goals in a season are unofficially the 14th-most in OHSAA history, and her 40 goals are tied for 19th-most in the state records, against just 54 players listed currently in scoring 40-plus goals in a season in Ohio.
