St. Joseph Snags More #1 Votes Than Greenwich, And Their Friday Clash Is THE Decider

Greenwich is holding on to the top spot in the Class LL/L girls’ soccer coaches’ poll right now, but get this: No. 2 St. Joseph actually racked up more first-place votes this week. That’s right, six votes for St. Joseph compared to five for Greenwich! This Friday, these two titans are set to collide at 4 p.m., with St. Joseph hosting Greenwich in what’s shaping up to be a monumental FCIAC matchup.

The Class LL/L Poll: A #1 vs. #2 Showdown

It’s absolutely wild at the top of the Class LL/L poll. Greenwich leads with a 10-0-1 record and 119 points, keeping that No. 1 position. But St. Joseph, also 10-0-1, is breathing down their neck with 117 points and, as we said, more coaches putting them at No. 1. This isn’t just about rankings, it’s about bragging rights heading into their direct face-off. Just behind them, Ridgefield is sitting pretty at No. 3 with an 8-0-3 record, after posting three more shutouts. Undefeated Glastonbury, 11-0-0, isn’t far behind at No. 4, picking up one first-place vote themselves. And rounding out the top five is another unbeaten squad, Simsbury, also 11-0-0. It’s a stacked top five, but everyone knows Friday is all about Greenwich and St. Joseph.

M/S Poll: East Hampton Dominates, Others Making Moves

Over in the M/S poll, East Hampton is absolutely crushing it, holding firm at No. 1. They’re the only unbeaten team in their poll, rocking a 10-0-0 record and snatching up 14 of the 15 first-place votes. That’s pure dominance! Tolland made a solid jump, moving up one spot to No. 2, while Stonington had an even bigger week, climbing five spots to land at No. 3. Foran, unfortunately, dipped two spots to No. 4. Lauralton Hall, which beat Cheshire last week, secured the other first-place vote in this poll and stuck at No. 5. And a big shoutout to Suffield, who clawed their way into the top 10 at No. 10 after beating No. 7 Granby last week, knocking Barlow out of the rankings.

So, get ready, because all eyes are on Friday at 4 p.m. when St. Joseph hosts Greenwich. This isn’t just a regular-season game; it’s a battle that could completely flip the script at the top of the Class LL/L polls, setting the tone for the rest of their season!
