Week 4 Top 10

Top 10

9/26 to 10/1 (Previous Weekend)


1. Freehold Township (1) 9-1-0 - The Patriots keep rolling. defeating Marlboro 5-0 and crushing Bridgewater-Raritan 7-0 in the Mountains Vs Sea Event.  This week they face off against division rival #3 Howell to decide the top spot in A North. They end the week with Wall.

2. RBC (2) 6-2-0 - RBC had a couple tough games this week and they did what great teams do, find a way to win. First they beat Rumson 1-0 early in the week and then beat Immaculata 4-3. They were trailing 3-1 in the late stages of the second half and scored 3 goals in 7 minutes to win. Busy week for the Casey's Monmouth Regional then tough games vs Wall and then against #4 Brick Memorial saturday.

3. Howell (3) 8-0-1 - Howell had a light week beating Freehold Boro 3-0. This week will be the tell tale if they can hang with the big dogs. Middletown South on Monday and if they win that game they face #1 Freehold for A North title on Thursday.

4. Brick Memorial (4) 6-1-1 - Brick Memorial had an amazing back and forth game against #9 Central  Regional. They escaped with a 4-3 victory to take control of A South. Later in the week they defeated Southern 5-0. This week they have Toms River South, which they can not sleep on if they  want to win A South. Then Marlboro and end the week against #2 RBC.

5. Manalapan (5) 5-2-1 - They were defeated by Watchung Hills in the Mountains vs Sea Event 2-0. They went down early 2-0 and fought hard against one of the top teams in the state in north Jersey.

6. Point Boro (7) 8-0-0 - Point Boro keeps rolling, defeating Donovan 1-0 and Barnegat 3-0. I have said they play a weak schedule, but watching them play this week in person they are a complete team. This week cross town rival Point Beach and then Manchester to wrap up B South. They end the week with Shore Regional.

7. SJV (6) 6-2-1 - Busy week for SJV, first they defeated Neptune 4-0 then followed that with a tough win against Toms River East 2-1. They dropped their game against Pingry 4-2 in the Mountains vs Sea Event, but they looked very strong in that game and they were just a couple feet away from going up 3-2 at one point in that game. 

8. TRN (10) 5-4-0 - TRN is starting to roll, just as we expected. They defeated rival TRE 4-0 then Brick Twp 5-0. They lost to state powerhouse Hunterdon Central 4-0, but they were missing a couple pieces that caused a line-up change (not saying that's why they lost). This week they have tough games against Jackson Memorial, Allentown and Middletown North. TRN is a team the top 3 seeds in SCT will want to avoid early on. 

9. Lacey (NR) 6-2-1 - Lacey has turned into the team I thought they would be. Winning five straight and 6 out of 7, they defeated division opponents Barnegat 3-0 and Lakewood 6-0. They ended the week with a 6-2 win over St. Rose. This week they have two hard tests against Central Regional and Jackson Memorial and add Pinelands in the middle of the games.

10. Middletown South (NR) 5-3-1 - Middletown South is going to be one of the most battle tested teams entering postseason. I said to someone this week, "Give me a .500 team that plays a hard schedule over an undefeated team that plays a weak schedule". This week they defeated Midd North 1-0 and then beat a good Somerville team in the Mountains VS Sea Event 3-2. This week they will try to ruin #3 Howell's chances for A North and then they play Freehold Boro and Manasquan. 

Bubble

Central Regional (9) 5-3-1 - Lost a tough one against Brick Memorial then to Jackson Memorial. Still a dangerous team to face in postseason. 

Wall (8) 6-2-0 - Lost the two games where they played good teams this season. They will be tested this week when they play Rumson and RBC.

Preseason All Shore

Player of Year Candidates Madison DiEugenio - Senior TRN - Madison is looking to lead TRN to another deep run in the postseason. Last season she finished with 17 goals and 10 assists making her one of the best playmakers in the Shore Conference.  She can do it all on offense, making the right pass or getting free with fast footwork.   Ainsley Moy - Junior Freehold Twp - Ainsley looks to help keep Freehold as the #1 team in the Shore Conference as well as the top spot in the NJ.  Last season she finished second on the team with 18 goals and added 12 assists.  Moy is one of the top players in NJ and sometimes does not get the recognition due to the loaded midfield. I can see Moy making a statement this season and help move Freehold up the National Rankings. Abbey Olexa - Senior TRS - The West Virginia commit might be the most focused on players by opposing teams in the Shore.  She has the foot skills and power to beat a goalie anyway she wants.  She was ...

Week 6 Top 10

 10/9 to 10/15 (Previous Rank) 1. Freehold Township (1) 13-1-0 - They are the best in the Shore and they are doing it without one of the best players in the state. Gabby Koluch does not get the accolades she deserves. She was NJ.com midseason defender of the year, she might be the midseason player of the year.  Freehold Twp. took care of Rumson 4-0, all 4 goals in the second half. Then they beat TRS 5-1 to advance to the SCT semis and face SJV on Wednesday at 630. If they win, they face winner of Howell/Point Boro Saturday in Neptune. 2. Howell (7) 11-2-1 - I said Howell would surprise people and they have but not me. They move onto the SCT semis by defeating St. Rose in the first round 3-0 and then defeated Manalapan 1-0 in the quarters. If they can beat Point Boro they will move on and most likely face Freehold Twp for the title. They played last week and even though they lost 3-0, they looked good against Freehold and had their fair share of chances. 3. Point Boro (8) 12-1-...
