D.C. Beltway Area: Girls' Soccer Top 10

Girls’ Soccer Top 10.
*Rankings and records as of May 11

1. Robinson (11-0-1) — LW: 1
Last week, the Rams moved into the No. 1 spot nationally in the ESPNRise poll. Robinson beat West Potomac, 2-0, last week in its only game. A Friday night marquee match-up with No. 3 Stone Bridge was canceled due to rain and will not be made up. But don’t worry, Northern Region GSOC fans, you will likely see that game some time in the regional tournament.
2. Broad Run (13-0-1) — LW: 2
The Spartans have outscored their opponents 50-3 this year, but only faced Potomac Falls last week (7-5-2), who they beat, 2-0. Broad
Run closes its regular season against unranked Dominion (1-12-0) and Park View (1-12-0). It is ranked No. 7 nationally on ESPNRise.
3. Stone Bridge (8-2-2) — LW: 3
The
Bulldogs have won seven games in a row by a combined 25-3, but haven’t played since a
2-0 road win over then-No. 5 Chantilly on April 29. Stone Bridge’s
two losses are to No. 2 Broad Run, 2-1, and No. 9 McLean, 2-1. Its first-round Liberty District tournament with Jefferson was postponed from Monday until Tuesday.
4. West Springfield (11-1-2) — LW: 5

The
Spartans have won 11 games
and tied once after opening the season with an 0-1-1 record. During its streak, West Springfield has
outscored its opponents 44-1, including a 1-0 win over Yorktown and a 5-0 win over Lee in its Patriot District tournament opener. It faces Annandale (6-4-3) in the semifinal on Wednesday.
5. Battlefield (11-2-1) — LW: 6
The
Bobcats continue to move up the ranks after a pair of six-goal games last week, including a 6-3 win over Osbourn and a 6-0 win over Stonewall Jackson. But
Battlefield is not out of the woods yet; it faces Osbourn Park, Stonewall Jackson and No. 6 Loudoun Valley on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
6. Loudoun Valley (11-1-0) — LW: 7

The Vikings have torched their first eight opponents, winning by a
combined 36-1 margin, but fell to No. 5 Battlefield, 2-1, on April 29,
losing on a pair of penalty kicks. Loudoun Valley gets another shot at Battlefield on Thursday, but must get through Fauquier (3-6-1) and Osbourn Park (4-5-0) first.
7. W.T. Woodson (10-2-2) — LW: 4
The
Cavaliers led No. 10 Oakton, 1-0, in the 69th minute on Wednesday, but yielded two goals in the final 11 minutes for their second loss of the season. Woodson rebounded in style, though, in the first round of the Liberty District tournament, beating eighth-seeded Marshall, 5-0. It faces Madison (7-5-1) on Wednesday night in the tournament semifinals.
8. Chantilly (11-2-1) — LW: 8
The
Chargers beat also-receiving-votes team Centreville, 3-0, in the nightcap of a varsity doubleheader to close out their season before toppling Fairfax, 4-0, in the Concorde District quarterfinals on Monday. Chantilly faces No. 10 Oakton in the tournament semifinals on Wednesday.
9. McLean (12-2-0) — LW: 9
The
Highlanders
have
netted a Northern Region-best 52 goals this season, and bolstered that stat by beating South Lakes, 6-0, in the Liberty District opening round. McLean draws the winner of Jefferson and No. 3 Stone Bridge in the semifinals on Wednesday. The Highlanders beat both of those teams in the regular season, including a 2-1 over the Bulldogs on March 30.
10. Oakton (10-2-0) — LW: N/A
The Cougars fell out of the poll last week after a 5-1 loss to No. 1 Robinson, but earned their spot back with a pair of impressive wins last week, most notably a 2-1, come-from-behind win over then-No. 4 Woodson on Wednesday. Oakton faces No. 8 Chantilly in the Concorde District semifinals on Wednesday night.
