Brookdale Women’s Soccer #1 In the Nation for 102 Straight Weeks

Lincroft, NJ - The Brookdale Jersey Blues women's soccer team has stayed at the top of the NJCAA Division III poll for 102 weeks in a row. The Jersey Blues entered the polls at the number one spot on October 1, 2013 and have not looked down since.  Brookdale has played to a 32-1-1 record during this time period, the longest it has ever held the number one ranking.  The results speak for themselves as they have claimed the last two national championships, the first ever Brookdale athletics team that can say they are back-to-back national champions. 

On the way to the 2013 national championship with 5:22 remaining in the game, sophomore center midfielder Keara Homan (Manasquan, NJ: Manasquan High School) beautifully placed a corner kick on the head of freshman midfielder Amanda Anastasia (Middletown, NJ: Middletown High School South) to score the 4th and final goal of the game, clinching the title for the Jersey Blues 4-3 over Mohawk Valley Community College.

To claim the 2014 national championship Meghan Begley's (Middletown, NJ: Mater Dei High School) third goal of the year couldn't have come at a better time. The sophomore midfielder's 30-yard strike hit in the 99th minute (first overtime period) of the 2014 NJCAA Division III women's soccer championship game to give Brookdale Community College its second-straight National title, a 1-0 overtime victory against Richland College (TX).

The 2015 Jersey Blues are off to a tenacious start opening up the season recording four straight wins against division I Mercer County Community College and Region XIX division III opponents Rowan College at Gloucester County, Northampton Community College and Bucks County Community College.   Brookdale is hoping its hard work and dedication will have them back in the national tournament for the third season in a row to once again defend its national title.
