Two teams enter the co-rec soccer playoffs undefeated.
Top-seeded and undefeated Tricks for Chicks come in led by Conner Lane and Laura Gillis, who have eight and three goals on the season respectively.
Ross Anderson has two assists for one of the top offenses in the league, which has scored twenty-four points in five games.
Andrew Markoski anchors a solid defense in goal, who has only given up six goals on the year.
The other undefeated team is The Bomb Squad, who have been solid on both offense and defense, scoring twenty-four goals while only allowing five.
Matthew Cecchetelli has eight saves on the year while Teal Harrison-Hertz anchors the offense while being tied for the league lead in assists with three and also contributing a goal.
The fourth-seeded Something Stupid comes into the tournament with a 4-1-0 record and the league’s toughest defense, allowing only three goals all season.
The defense barely allows shots on goal, as goalkeeper Michael Lisitano has only had to make three saves all season.
The Benchwarmers could prove to be the Cinderella story of this year’s tournament.
Only the seventh seed, they are tied for the highest-scoring team in the league with twenty-five goals.
Cassie Lacroix has five goals to go with one assist and is one of the league’s most dangerous offensive players.
If they can clamp down defensively, this team has the potential to pull quite a few upsets.
Smoke City F.C. comes into the tournament riding a three-game winning streak, led by the league’s top goaltender and a very balanced offensive attack.
Goalkeeper Joe Fusco leads the league with twenty saves and the team has only given up three goals in their last three games, after allowing eight in their first two games.
If the defense can stay tough and combine with a balanced offensive performance by Jake Levenstein (four goals on the season), Sebastian Ramirez (three goals), James Ropitzky and Matthew Hausmann (two goals each) Smoke City F.C. could make some noise in the playoffs.
