Hello everybody! With the postseason just around the corner (the Suffolk Class AA tournament starts Saturday), teams are jockeying for playoff seeding and league championships.
They're also vying for that coveted spot in Gregg Sarra's Big 10. Though Massapequa's girls soccer team dropped two spots to No. 5, the female footballers got a Suffolk representative this week, as Connetquot joined the party at No. 10.
To hear further explanation of this week's choices, check out this video. If you disagree with any of Gregg's choices, feel free to share your opinions with us here.
Here is this week's Long Island girls soccer top-10, and finally, my Suffolk top-10:
Suffolk Top 10
1. Connetquot
2. Northport
3. St. Anthony's
4. East Islip
5. Islip
6. Commack
7. Patchogue-Medford
8. Ward Melville
9. Sayville
10. North Babylon
*On Wednesday, I'll be at Ward Melville for the League I finale between the Patriots and Sachem East. Ward Melville won the league title last year, but Sachem East was the Suffolk Class AA champion.
If Patchogue-Medford loses at Floyd, Ward Melville will be the League I champion, otherwise they will share the title with the Raiders. (Ward Melville is 1-1 against Pat-Med this season.)
**And I haven't forgotten about you League VIII fans. Thursday's matchup between Smithtown Christian (9-0-1) and Center Moriches (9-0-1) will likely be for the league title, so check back either later that evening or Friday morning here on the blog for coverage of that contest. These two teams played to a 1-1 tie on September 29, so expect another close outcome.
Okay, a busy week in girls soccer, so I'll see everyone out on the pitch!
