St. Thomas Aquinas girls soccer takes No. 1 spot in latest ESPN Rise Powarade Fab 50 rankings March 22nd, 2011
A month after winning its Florirda-record 11th state championship, the St. Thomas Aquinas girls soccer team is one step closer to earning a potential national title.
This week, the Raiders grabbed the top spot in the most recent ESPN Rise Powerade Fab 50 poll.
Although some parts of the nation–including Texas–are still competing in their respective soccer seasons, there’s good reason for the Raiders to feel confident they’ll hang on to that top spot. The team ranked No. 2–Texas’ McKinney Boyd–is still playing, but their lone loss this season came against St. Thomas.
The Raiders, who have long been a Broward County and Florida soccer power, capped a remarkable 25-1-0 season last month with a 2-0 victory over Newsome in the Class 5A state championship. At the time, St. Thomas was ranked No. 7 in the nation, while Newsome was No. 2.
That win marked the third time this season St. Thomas upset a highly-ranked opponent. McKinney Boyd and Melbourne were both No. 1 when they lost their respective matches against St. Thomas.
If St. Thomas keeps the No. 1 ranking–as expected it will–the program will clinch its sixth national title and its first since 2004.
The Raiders also won national titles in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998.
