Girls’ Soccer Top 10.
*Rankings and records as of April 27
1. Robinson (8-0-1) — LW: 1
The Rams beat Westfield and Yorktown last week by a combined 7-1, but face only more tests in the final week of the season. Robinson travels to No. 9 Oakton on Tuesday and plays No. 8 Stone Bridge on May 8.
2. Broad Run (9-0-1) — LW: 2
The Spartans have outscored their opponents 37-2 this year, including 15-0 in the last week. Broad Run has five Division I signees and will face Heritage (9-2-1) on Tuesday, Briar Woods (6-3-1) on Wednesday and Loudoun County (5-4-2) on Friday.
3. Loudoun Valley (8-0-0) — LW: 3
The Vikings have torched their first eight opponents, winning by a
combined 36-1 margin and sit comfortably atop the Cedar Run District. Loudoun Valley faces Stonewall Jackson, No. 10 Battlefield and Osbourn on Friday.
4. W.T. Woodson (9-1-1) — LW: 4
The Cavaliers had a trio of 3-0 wins last week, including one on the road against No. 7 McLean on Tuesday. Woodson, though, will be tested in the final week with a pair of non-district games. It hosts No. 6 West Springfield — winners of eight-straight games — on Thursday before hosting No. 9 Oakton on Monday. The combined records of those two opponents: 15-2-1.
5. Chantilly (8-1-1) — LW: 5
The
Chargers
beat the then-No. 7 Cougars, 2-1, on Friday. Chantilly has
outscored its opponents 30-6 this year, but closes with a brutal schedule. It faces No. 8 Stone Bridge at home
on Wednesday, No. 7 McLean on the road on Thursday and Centreville next week.
6. West Springfield (8-1-1) — LW: 8
The
Spartans, who returned seven starters, have won eight consecutive games
after opening the season with a 1-1 draw to No. 8 Stone Bridge and a 1-0
loss to Centreville. During its winning streak, West Springfield has
outscored its opponents 32-0, including an 8-0 win over then-No. 10 South County last week. It faces No. 4 W.T. Woodson on Thursday, which will be covered by DigitalSports.
7. McLean (9-1-0) — LW: 6
The
Highlanders have netted a Northern Region-best 44 goals this season,
while allowing just nine. McLean fell to No. 4 Woodson on Tuesday, 3-0, but rebounded with back-to-back wins over Langley, 2-0 (article and highlights HERE), and Marshall, 5-0. It faces No. 5 Chantilly on Thursday.
8. Stone Bridge (7-2-2) — LW: 9
The
Bulldogs have won six games in a row by a combined 23-3, and all were district wins. Stone Bridge’s
two losses are to No. 2 Broad Run, 2-1, and No. 7 McLean, 2-1. It closes the season with
back-to-back matches against No. 5 Chantilly — to be played this Wednesday — and No. 1 Robinson on May 8.
9. Oakton (7-1-0) — LW: 7
The Cougars have outscored their opponents by a collective 37-5. But last week, Oakton suffered its first loss to No. 5 Chantilly, 2-1, before rebounding to beat Centreville, 5-1. It faces No. 1 Robinson at home tonight.
10. Battlefield (6-2-1) — LW: N/A
The Bobcats beat Culpeper, 8-0, in their only game last week. But a match-up with unbeaten — and untested — No. 3 Loudoun Valley looms huge in Purcellville on Wednesday.
