FCIAC Champion last 10 years... St Joes won in 2013, 2017, 2022 and 2023... There domination started when Pino got there as it relates to back to back... they have 4 FCIAC championships. Ridgefield 3 and Staples 3. (10years) They have always been a good team, but the domination hasnt been there as it relates to championships. Pino's freshman year they didnt play in Championship game. Go get Jenkins to transfer and boom... back to back. The point is if Jack doesnt get Jenkins he doesnt beat Staples and then add insult to injury he goes and gets the goalie.. Nothing wrong with bringing in freshman talent but filling the gaps with ECNL studs as juniors he knows he cant win FCIAC without them... You will see in 2025 and 2026 and if he loses this year it will only be because of injury... 1 of those two up top go down and it might be checkmate. Just an opinion.. Supposedly he is not bringing anyone in only freshman if he does otherwise it will be all you need to know... FCIAC will not kick them out because the rest of their sports are just not that good

Nothing wrong with it... The issue everyone is having is he fills gaps through his star player making calls..The purpose again based on CIAC rules is not to fill gaps of weakness and build super teams. Not that hard to understand. . and once she is gone they wont dominate. Until then FCIAC teams will play for 2nd place next year and then its wide open
i thought you knew all the CIAC rules? Coaches dont vote for their own players- i have been in the room many times
again the CIAC is run by FOOTBALL-they dont care about your petty gripes
once she is gone he will have another JB SG JM MF AP TJ

Transfers are what they are You always have private school transfers. Not always impact players but transfers always happen. It isn't against any rules. That is just the advantage. Proving a coach recruited someone just fir sports is impossible If the kid reaches out to the coach it is all fine. That is the problem. The only solution is their won class or it happens forever. It has been happening in boys hoops for many decades There are tons of non star transfers. They aren't banning transfers from activities

The same striker who started on the other wing the last 2 years. JN. Not a star but had plenty of goals. Solid Next year is the third year in a row with the same 3. You guys forget this may have been the best team staples has ever had. And they won nothing No one besides that staples team even gave st joes a game. Staples lost a lot but is still the only team with a shot to beat sj next year.

St. Joseph girls soccer finishes No. 1 in state after perfect season
NOVEMBER 27, 2023 BY BOB GREENEY
A high school girls soccer team pretty much cannot have a season better than what the 2023 Cadets of St. Joseph High School had.
Coach Jack Nogueira’s undefeated Cadets won FCIAC and state championships, they were ranked No. 1 in the final state poll and No. 6 in the country in the final national poll.
St. Joseph finished with a 22-0-1 record after its 3-1 victory over Notre Dame-Fairfield in the championship game of the 2023 Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference Girls Soccer Class LL Tournament.
St. Joseph’s junior star Alexa Pino had a goal and an assist to help the Cadets win their third consecutive state championship and their ninth overall state title in school history.
Pino assisted Sara Parker on the first goal 2:30 into the state Class LL tourney final against ND-Fairfield. Pino then netted her goal to give St. Joseph its 2-0 midway through the first half and Taylor Jenkins completed the scoring in the 70th minute for the eventual champions.
After the Cadets won their first 13 games of the season, the host Staples Wreckers battled St. Joseph to a 1-1 draw at Wakeman Field on Oct. 18.
Then the Cadets won their last two games in the regular season, three more games to win the FCIAC championship, and they won their last four games while copping that Class LL crown.
Pino had two goals and two assists to lead St. Joseph to a 4-0 semifinal victory over Ridgefield in the 2023 FCIAC Girls Soccer Tournament and then she set up her freshman teammate, Taryn Czick, for both goals in St. Joseph’s 2-1 victory over Staples in the conference final.
Staples sophomore Natalie Chudowski scored both goals to help the Wreckers advance to the FCIAC final with their 2-0 semifinal victory over Darien.
Staples put forth an excellent challenge to the potent Cadets in the state Class LL semifinals in which Parker netted the game-winning goal in St. Joseph’s 4-3 victory.
The 11 FCIAC teams combined for a 14-10 overall record in that CIAC Class LL Girls Soccer Tournament. The conference had five of the eight teams in the quarterfinals. Staples nipped Greenwich, 2-1, in the quarterfinals to earn its semifinal showdown against St. Joseph.
The Cadets have won all nine of their state championships in three different classes since 2007. They won their two Class LL championships this year and 10 years ago with a great 2013 team. They won two straight Class M championships in 2007 and ’08, and they won three consecutive Class L crowns from 2015-17 and another two straight Class L titles in 2021 and ’22.
St. Joseph was the unanimous choice as the recipient of all 11 first-place votes to secure that No. 1 ranking in the final Connecticut Girls Soccer Coaches Top 10 Class LL/L Poll. The FCIAC had four teams ranked among the top eight. Staples was No. 4, Ridgefield and Fairfield Ludlowe were ranked seventh and eighth, respectively, and Greenwich received the 11th most polling points as one of the three teams statewide in the “Others receiving votes” category.
St. Joseph ascended from No. 9 in the previous poll to No. 6 in the United Soccer Coaches final national poll which was released Nov. 21. Edina (Minn.) finished 22-0 and was ranked No. 1 in the nation. St. Joseph’s Cadets, who were the only boys or girls’ team from the state ranked among the Top 25 in the national polls, were also ranked No. 1 in the United Soccer Coaches Region I poll which included schools from the other five New England states.
St. Joseph and Staples each had four players among the 22 total selected to the 2023 All-FCIAC Girls Soccer First Team.
Pino, Jenkins, Parker, and Helena Kaczmarczyk were St. Joseph’s four first-teamers while the Staples quartet consisted of Natalie Chudowsky, Evelyn Chudowsky, Annabel Edwards, and Coco Crombie.
The 14 other All-FCIAC first-team selections were Anna Gillan and Zoe Desmarais of Ridgefield, Caroline Aponte and Josie Tunney of Darien, Mackenzie Reid and Taegan Bajda of Trumbull, Paige Place and Sydney Patten of New Canaan, Emma Abbazia and Julia Acosta of Greenwich, Caroline Spengler and Kate Martin of Fairfield Ludlowe, Fairfield Warde’s Phoebe Marsick, and Brien McMahon’s Grace Simpson.
The 22 players selected to the All-FCIAC Girls Soccer Second Team were Julia Nunes and Maeve Matthews of St. Joseph, Baila Kessler and Riley Keane of Ridgefield, Gabby DeBrito of Staples, Fiona Gibbons and Kaitlyn Zizzadoro of Wilton, Ella Peterson and Peyton Bashar of Trumbull, Faith Ortolano and Alivia McDowell of Brien McMahon, Leah DeLaurentiis and Kate Waldron of Fairfield Ludlowe, Meghan Ross and Brooke Wilkowski of Greenwich, Westhill’s Ashlyn Flood, Darien’s Presley Sutter, Danbury’s Samantha Ruffles, New Canaan’s Emma Finnerty, Bridgeport Central’s Josselly Tello, and Norwalk’s Ashley DiLauro.

Ap and sp score every game. 3-4 goals is hard to match. They will be weaker in the middle yes but they will be fine. Their middle will still be solid. They could easily put ap or sp at attacking cm where jenkins was. Both ap and sp are committed at a higher level That is the dominant combo.
