Last week girls high school action was highlighted by teams keeping their unbeaten seasons alive, beginning with McDonogh (MD), who capped off a perfect regular season with a win over Marriotts Ridge (MD) on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Garden City (NY), Moorestown (NJ) and Shawnee (NJ) all kept their perfect records intact as well.
This week features some huge games between national powers.
GAME OF THE WEEK
Moorestown (NJ) at Shawnee (NJ) – Tuesday, 5/7
Today features a big matchup in New Jersey as two unbeaten teams meet. Moorestown enters the game at 15-0, while Shawnee comes in at 12-0. Both teams have been dominant this season and sport prolific offensive firepower. Among some other great games this week, this one stands out, as one team will fall from the ranks of the unbeaten.
TEAM TO WATCH
Garden City (NY)
Garden City wraps up their regular season this week, and looks to remain undefeated, entering the week at 13-0. Standing in the way is St. Anthonys (NY), who have only lost one game earlier in the season to Vero Beach (FL).
Can St. Anthonys play the role of spoiler to the Trojans dreams of perfection? Should be a great game on Long Island Wednesday.
STAT OF THE WEEK
An interesting note on Tuesdays Greenwich (CT) at Darien (CT) matchup:
Both teams enter the matchup today at 11-1. Darien has won nine consecutive games, while Greenwich had their unbeaten season snapped last week, going 1-1 over two games.
The two teams are very similar, which should make for an excellent game. Both enter the day with prolific offensive numbers, scoring no fewer than 10 goals in any game this season. Both have one loss, by identical 12-11 outcomes.
Which team will separate itself today at Darien High School?
