Week 5 Top 10

 Week 5

10/2 to 10/8 (Previous Week)

1. Freehold Township (1) 10-0-1 -Any surprise?  Light week only one game because Wall canceled. They defeated Howell 3-0 to wrap up A North. Next week they added Watchung Hills, who is always a tough opponent, for Monday and then winner of RFH and Matawan in SCT.

2. RBC (2) 8-2-0 - Defeated Monmouth Regional 6-1 and then had another dominant game against Wall, winning 5-1 to take care of A Central.  Next week they also added a very strong opponent outside of the Shore in Metuchen.  Later in the week they take on the winner of the Marlboro and Red Bank Regional game in the SCT.

3. Manalapan (5) 7-2-1 - They defeated Middletown North 5-0 early in the week and then ended the week by defeating a tough Rumson team 2-0. They have a bye first round and take on the winner of Lacey and Central Regional.  All three of those teams could be a threat to make it to the semis. 

4. Middletown South (10) 7-3-1 - The Eagles keep rolling, defeating then ranked #3 Howell 1-0 and then Freehold Boro 4-0. The tough schedule they played earned them a bye in the first round of SCT and will play the winner of the Manasquan and Jackson Liberty game. 

5. Brick Memorial (4) 7-2-1 - The Mustangs dropped a heart breaker to TRS after dominating the game 1-0. Now they wait to see if TRE can upset TRS later in the season to see who wins A South. They also took care of Raritan 5-1 in the first round of the SCT and wait for the winner of TRS and Ocean Twp for a possible rematch.

6. Toms River North (8) 7-4-0 - TRN defeated Jackson Memorial 4-0 early in the week and then Middletown North 4-1. They prepare for a tough matchup against Colts Neck in the first round of the SCT.

7. Howell (3) 9-2-1 - Howell had their toughest week on the schedule, first losing to Middletown South 1-0 and then lost to Freehold Twp. 3-0.  Howell did have a good amount of chances to score vs Freehold Twp throughout the game.  They finished the week by defeating TRS as they get ready for the winner of the St. Rose and Holmdel game in the SCT.

8. Point Boro (6) 9-1-0 - They won B South in convincing fashion and did not give up a goal to a division opponent. They beat Manchester 4-0 and then lost a tough one to Shore Regional 1-0.  They play crosstown rival Pt Beach in the opening round of the SCT.

9. Toms River South (NR) 5-3-1 - Busy week this week. They upset #4 Brick Memorial 1-0 to take over the top spot of A South, then lose 2-0 to #3 Howell. Next week they play a fast Ocean Twp team in the first round of SCT and if they win they have a rematch with Brick Memorial.

10. SJV (7) 7-3-1 - SJV took care of Long Branch with ease 7-0 and then lost to Ocean Twp 1-0 later in the week. They have Jackson Memorial scheduled, if they play it will not be an easy game. Jackson Memorial is the best team not to make the SCT. Later in the week they play winner of Wall and Trinity Hall in the second round of the SCT.

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) 12-1-0 - Point

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 my Freshman of the Year in 2019 fi
