Zanesville's tournament run came to an end Tuesday night with a 6-1 loss to second-seeded Steubenville in the opening round of the OHSAA Division III East District tournament at Harding Stadium.
After Steubenville built a 2-0 halftime lead on goals from Landon Bowers and Chase Beall, the hosts tacked on four more goals after the break. Zanesville's lone goal came from Mario Nguyen late in the match. Blue Devils goalkeeper James McCandlish recorded 14 saves against heavy offensive pressure.
Zanesville finishes its season at 5-13, while Steubenville advances to host New Philadelphia in the district semifinals.
