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

Boys’ Soccer Top 10
*Rankings and records as of April 27

1. Osbourn Park (7-0-1) — LW: 1
The
Yellow Jackets have outscored their opponents 24-2 this season,
including a 3-0 win over Stonewall Jackson on Friday. The two goals allowed are the lowest among any team in the DigitalSports coverage area. Osbourn Park faces Liberty and Culpeper this week.
2. Robinson (8-1-1) — LW: 2
The
Rams had a pair of one-goal wins last week, beating Herndon on Thursday, 3-2, and Yorktown on Friday, 1-0 in overtime. Robinson faces Oakton (3-5-1) and Fairfax (2-8-0) this week and — with wins in each of those games — would lock up the top seed in the Concorde District Tournament. Only South County has allowed fewer goals among Northern Region teams.
3. Battlefield (7-0-1) — LW: 3
The
Bobcats have only played twice in the last 14 days thanks to cancellations, but remain one of three unbeaten teams in Northern Virginia. Battlefield beat Culpeper, 3-0, in its only game last week and has Fauquier, Osbourn and Liberty slated in a four-day span, starting Tuesday night.
4. Westfield (9-1-0) — LW: 4
The
only
Bulldog blemish is a 3-1 home loss to No. 2 Robinson. Westfield is
the highest scoring team in the D.C. area, having posted 43 goals in
its 10 games. Westfield’s only test last week was a 1-0 win over Sean Murnane‘s former team, Herndon. It faces out-of-district opponents Yorktown (3-5-3), Stuart (3-7) and T.C. Williams (4-8-1) this week.
5. Wakefield (9-0-1) — LW: 7
The Warriors opened eyes around the Northern Region with their 5-1 dismantling over the previously unbeaten — and previously fifth-ranked — Eagles on Friday. Wakefield has three road games this week: Washington-Lee (3-6-2) on Tuesday, West Potomac (3-5-2) on Wednesday and Hayfield (4-4-1) on Monday.
6. Woodbridge (4-1-2) — LW: 6
In their only game last week, the Vikings beat Freedom-Woodbridge, 1-0, on Monday. Woodbridge faces Gar-Field twice in the next four days, with a game against Forest Park sandwiched between on Wednesday. The Vikings have allowed two goals in the last four games (3-0-1).
7. McLean (7-2-1) — LW: 8
The
Highlanders’
two losses are to No. 4 Westfield, 5-2 on March 23, and
No. 7 Wakefield, 4-2 on March 12. McLean drew with then-No. 9 Langley to lock up the regular-season Liberty District title on Thursday, though both teams were short-handed due to club commitments. It faces out-of-district foes Chantilly and Centreville to close out the regular season.
8. South County (9-1-0) — LW: 10
Stallion goalkeeper Javier Hernandez has eight clean sheets in nine games this season. South County beat West Springfield on Wednesday, 1-0, and faces Lake Braddock on Tuesday to decide the regular-season Patriot District title.
9. Stone Bridge (7-1-1) — LW: N/A
The Bulldogs
move into the Top 10 after a pair of Liberty District wins last week, including a 4-1 win over then-No. 9 Langley on Monday. Stone Bridge, which has allowed only seven goals in nine games, travels to Chantilly on Wednesday and faces South Lakes on Monday.
10. Edison (6-1-1) — LW: 5
The
Eagles gave up an early goal to the fifth-ranked Warriors and could never recover, ultimately falling, 5-1. Edison plays Stuart (3-7-0) on Tuesday and non-district opponent Marshall (1-7-1) on Thursday.
