How many Regional titles will Bayside garnish this year. I think definitely 2 and possibly three!

I can't speak for the boys side, but none of the Bayside girls teams have a chance.
The only team that's really done well is the U17 team, but they haven't played well lately, so I can't believe they'll turn it around.Comment

U14 girls going to go on a roll...peaking at the right time!Comment

Yes absolutely. They are by far the best team in the country and will show it in a few weeks.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

U17 team has traditionally played terrible in month leading to regionals. They still have best shot to do something, but it all comes down to the draw.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Of the 6 powerhouse states at this age group - PAW, NYE, NJ, MA, VA, MD, Bayside has beaten or tied 4 of them over the last year (lost to MD and never played VA).
ECNL/NPL has impacted other states at this age heavily with a number of 1st time Regional appearances from: PAE, NYW, CT.
If Bayside girls avoid a death group and come to play, the easily could reach semi's again with an outside shot for finals and a regional Championship.Comment

In 2012, they panicked against past R1 Champ, Baltimore PSC. Bayside had lead with 20 minutes left and USWNT pool player from PSC singlehandedly took game over and scored 2 in last 10 minutes of game.
In 2013, they gassed out. They had a couple season ending injuries going into regionals in the midfield and the short bench and hot weather caught up to them by Monday. The team they lost to (Tom's River) went on to win R1. Bayside tied them a couple weeks ago in R1 Premier League play.
This team has a legit shot but they need to come into it in shape, focused, and with a little luck.Comment

Draw draw draw! You can handle 1 power state you get two or three your in for it. And 17s play VA last year won 3-1Comment

Different VA team this year but yes, you make your own luck at regionals. They caught teams sleeping on them both years int he group stage.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
This year, they will be on everyone's radar screen which is a dangerous place to be.Comment

It will be interesting to see how this group does at regionals. They are not the type of team to get blown out. They compete hard and play good possession soccer. They do not give up a lot of goals. They are used to winning championships (R1 northeast league, NEP, state cup, Maps Cup in NJ).Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Thanks for the info Dad!Comment

They are used to winning championships? They got relegated to the R1 Northeast League, after getting relegated from the real league for not winning a game. They won the NEP in the Spring because the NEFC B team moved up to the NPL division. They won State Cup this year after finally defeating the Smithfield town team for like the first time ever. And they won MAPS Cup against teams that won't be good enough for Regionals.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
They'll win if they draw Deleware, West Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire.Comment

From a Bayside parent: this is a dumb statement. you look like a rookie making these kind of statements about regionals as anyone that has gone to them before knows that anything can, and will, happen at regionals as there are too many factors in play like weather, ref quality, draw, draw, and draw.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
There are plenty of teams at the U14 level that "know how to win", do yourself a favor and shut it.Comment
