Talking Sports And Fitness With Zeke

Head coach Tiffany Cappellano shares with Zeke the story of the remarkable Lynx field hockey program. Oley Valley was 26-0 this past season before losing to Moravian Academy 4-3 in the PIAA Class 1A state championship game -- an encounter in which it trailed by four goals with less than 27 minutes left. While the loss was a heartbreaker, Cappellano tells Zeke she was very proud of how her girls fought back. The Lynx were looking for their first state championship since 2000. It was their sixth state title game and first since 2005. Cappellano is 133-34-5 in seven years as the Oley Valley head coach, with six division championships, two Berks titles and two District 3 titles. Her teams have reached three PIAA semifinals and one PIAA final. She succeeded the legendary Donna Long, who compiled a 459-88-30 record as Oley head coach. Cappellano is a 1999 Oley Valley grad who helped Oley win a PIAA 2A title in 1997 and played at the University of Iowa. She is a sixth-grade teacher at Oley. Cappellano tells Zeke tha
