soccer top 10

After nearly two weeks of unpredictable results, the Shore Sports Network Top 10 returns with a significant makeover after No. 1.

Holmdel opens the season stocked with talent and eyeing its first ever Shore Conference Tournament title.

The 2016 boys soccer season ended with the Shore Conference capturing three NJSIAA sectional championship and with the No. 1 team in the conference winning an overall NJSIAA title in one of the state’s toughest groups. The conference turned in a solid season across the board for the second straight year, but 2016 will go down for an especially strong one for Class A North...

Less than two weeks remain in the 2016 soccer season, so there is very little time and opportunity left for teams to make their final cases for positioning in the Shore Sports Network Top 10. The top two spots in the rankings are basically settled, but there remain enough suitors for spots three through five for the last 13 days of the season to remain intense...

The Shore Conference Tournament down to eight teams and the outcome of the first two rounds has certainly shaped the newest version of the Top 10. Although there is a premium on postseason performance, it still is not the only part of the season, which is why a number of teams that are no longer in the SCT maintain standing in the rankings...

*2016 Shore Conference Boys Soccer Standings* The Shore Conference Tournament will be seeded on Monday and for the first time since 2011, there is a heavy favorite going into the final week of the regular season. Although it’s easy to look back at last year’s tournament and retroactively tag defending champion Christian Brothers Academy as a heavy favorite going into last year’s proceedings, recal

The last week of Shore Conference boys soccer was unpredictable enough to yield some significant turnover in the new Top 10. Four new teams enter this week’s rankings, including two teams debuting for the first time all year and another that was last seen in the top 10 during the preseason edition...

The first week-and-a-half of the Shore Conference boys soccer season began with little top 10 turmoil, but that changed dramatically over the past week. All but three of the teams from last week’s rankings took a loss or a tie, which makes this week’s installment of the rankings more of an experiment than usual...

A week-and-a-half into the season, not all that much has changed in the actual top 10: of the first nine teams in the rankings, eight were in the preseason top 10 and the other was firmly on the bubble as a team not far from making the jump...

The boys soccer season is upon us and yet, most people without a dog in the fight are ready to hand over the Shore Conference title before the first game is played. Christian Brothers Academy – the defending SCT champion – returns a significant chunk of its roster from a year ago, when the Colts rounded into form, rolled through the conference tournament, and reached the Non-Public A final before

Just as a program sometimes has to rebuild for a few years, the last few seasons show the same applies to a conference. The Shore had a couple of down years with respect to winning sectional titles in 2012 and 2013 and since the downturn, seven different programs have won NJSIAA sectional championships over the last two seasons, including five this past year...

The Shore Conference Tournament will be seeded in exactly two weeks and the last three weeks have seen consistency in the top seven teams in the top 10. The order has changed over the course of the season and it has changed again this week thanks to a big win by Wall over Ocean...
