The Ward Melville Patriots are the energizer bunny of girls soccer. They just keep winning, and winning, and winning, and winning ...

This week the #1 seeded Patriots beat Commack, 3-1, to clinch the Suffolk Class AAA championship for the second year in a row.

Not only did the Patriots win for the second straight year, but they also finished the year undefeated with a 17-0-1 record. The unbeaten streak now has been pushed to an incredible 60 games.

The Patriots have shuffled divisions in the past few years and even that has not mattered as this team just keeps winning. Their last last loss came back in the 2021 playoffs, as a Class AA team. Between that loss and their latest win they have won the title in 2022, as a Class AA team and in 2023, as part of the Class AAA team that went on to win the New York State championship.

This year they were led by a pair of dynamic sisters. Adriana and Alessandra Victoriano are no strangers to winning as both have been on all three of these unbeaten Suffolk championship teams. The sisters don't even really know how to lose at this point.

Adriana scored two goals in the game while Alessandra played remarkable defense.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
