Southern Connecticut Conference 2020 Boys Soccer Preview

2020: The 2020 season begins Thursday, October 1. Due to the late start, all SCC teams will play 11 regular-season games. The goal is to have each of the three divisions have playoffs where all teams qualify.

Division Alignment: There are 20 schools, divided into three divisions, that compete in SCC boys soccer in 2020. These divisions will be in effect for the 2020 season only. With CIAC mandating regional play due to Covid-19, we have had to shuffle the deck this year and welcome Whitney Tech and Platt Tech to the fold. Fairfield Prep will play in a FCIAC "region" this fall.

Division A:  Xavier, Cheshire, Sheehan, Lyman Hall, Whitney Tech, Hamden, North Haven

Division B: Daniel Hand, Guilford, Branford, East Haven, Wilbur Cross, Career/HH

Division C: Shelton, Amity Regional, Foran, Jonathan Law, Platt Tech, Notre Dame, West Haven

Defending Champs: Guilford won the 2019 SCC championship by virtue of a 2-0 win over rival Daniel Hand. Amity, Xavier, Guilford, and Hand were your division winners last fall. Ironically, it was the Tigers who would claim a state title when they beat Wilton in a 4-3 OT classic for the Class L crown.

2020: The 2020 season begins Thursday, October 1. Due to the late start, all SCC teams will play 10 regular-season games and hopefully, all thirteen teams will qualify for league playoff competition.

Division Alignment: The SCC’s 13 teams are divided into two divisions: A and B – based on geography.   Each team will play its division opponent at least once.  The first meeting is considered the “counting” games for standings purposes.

Division A:  Branford, Cheshire, Daniel Hand, Guilford, Mercy, Lyman Hall, Sheehan

Division B: Amity Regional, Hamden, North Haven, Lauralton Hall, North Haven, Shelton

Defending Champs: Guilford is the two-time defending SCC champion.   Guilford defeated Amity Regional, 1-0, in last year’s final. Following its SCC title, Guilford went on to defeat SCC-rival Daniel Hand, 3-2, in the Class M state championship game.

Following its SCC title, Guilford went on to defeat East Lyme by the same score in the Class L state championship game to cap off an 18-2-3 season. They also were named the Town Fair Tire “Best of 2019-2020” award winner in a vote this past summer. Ironically, Guilford was not a division champion last year as Amity, Cheshire, Mercy, and Shelton claimed that honor.
