Undefeated Girls Soccer Team Heads to County Tournament Final Tonight

The team will face Cranford, which is also undefeated, at Kean University at 7 p.m.

The undefeated Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School girls soccer team heads to the Union County Tournament finals Sunday, after a 2-1 win over Union last week.

The team will face off against Cranford, who are also undefeated, at Kean University at 7 p.m.

"This season we have a young and inexperienced team," coach Kevin Ewing told Patch. "Even though we have a lot of youth and inexperience, the girls are playing pretty well. The strength of the team is the speed and possession style of soccer the girls play." 

The girls varsity team has seen the UCT final every year since 2005, and has won or tied every year except for a 2009 loss to Cranford.

"Cranford is a very experienced and strong team," said Ewing. "They are very strong all over the field, so we will have to be at our best."

The 2012 team shared the title of county co-champion with Westfield after a 1-1 tie in the tournament final. The girls held a record of 18-2-3.

The 2013 team is currently ranked No. 13 in the state in the Star-Ledger's Top 20 rankings.
