Colts Neck finished the regular season at 14-0-1 overall and 11-0-1 in Class B North, which earned the Cougars the No. 1 seed in this season's 25-team Girls Soccer Shore Conference Tournament. Freehold Township entered Monday's seeding meeting with a record of 10-3-1 and came up with a late goal Monday afternoon to get a 1-0 win over Manalapan and clinch the No. 2 seed. Toms River edged Manalapan for the No. 4 seed due to quality wins over Red Bank Catholic and Wall, while Manalapan boasted a non-divisional win over South Brunswick.
