A huge congratulations to both the Shawnee Mens and Womens Varsity Soccer teams on their extraordinary victories in the NJ Group III State Championships this past weekend! This marks Shawneeâs first-ever Menâs and Womenâs sweep of the Coachâs Cup, SJ Sectionals and NJSIAA Group III State Championshipâa truly historic moment for the program and the entire community.
The Shawnee Boys Varsity Soccer team had a phenomenal season, finishing with a remarkable 21-2-1 record. Winning their 8th State Title dating back to1988, and first since 2006. The boys finished the season with a #3 ranking in New Jersey and a national ranking of 39th!
The Shawnee Girls Varsity Soccer team delivered an unforgettable 25-0 season, becoming only the 15th girls team in state history to finish undefeated. With an incredible 19 shutouts, their dominance on the field was undeniable. With their first Group III State Title, they ended the season ranked #2 in New Jersey and #7 nationally!
These accomplishments would not have been possible without the outstanding leadership and dedication of Head Coaches Ryan Franks (Menâs Team) and Drew Wagner (Womenâs Team), assistant coaches Casey Marshall (Menâs Team) and Ken Coluzzi (Womenâs team) as well as the athletic trainers and coaches who helped prepare the players along their journey.
