The 2026 EBAL Girls Soccer All League

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>The East Bay Soccer League produced some really good teams ranked near the top in CA and as high as #12 in the nation (San Ramon Valley), while Carondelet had the OPOY ([player_tooltip player_id='211239' first='Elle' last='Sloan']) and DPOY ([player_tooltip player_id='272442' first='Madeline' last='Roder']).</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>USE THE PROMO CODE almasin30 for a discount on your first subscription</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carondelet led the way during league play as well as during the regular season. The Cougars went undefeated in league play at 9-0 and ended their season with an overall record of 16-4-3. Amador Valley came in second, followed by California and San Ramon Valley (17-3-2).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've covered Carondelet and San Ramon Valley at least twice each this season and California in one of their matches. The San Ramon Valley Wolves had an incredible playoff run, winning the CIF NorCal Division II Title as well as the inaugural state Division II Title. I was fortunate to be on hand to witness and cover their win at Archbishop Mitty for the NorCal championship. It was an awesome matchup that went down to the wire and had to be settled in a penalty kick shootout.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another awesome run in the playoffs went to Carondelet, who got the runner-up trophy in the NCS Open tournament against Bishop O'Dowd.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The EBAL had a bunch of top-level teams and top-rated players creating memorable moments as well as making EPIC runs in the NorCal tourney, but the team that stole the spotlight in postseason play was definitely the Wolves of San Ramon Valley. I am looking forward to next season, as I will cover the other great teams from the EBAL.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Here are the 2026 EBAL Players of the Year award winners:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offensive Player of the Year - [player_tooltip player_id='211239' first='Elle' last='Sloan'] - Senior - Carondelet - USC commit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Defensive Player&nbsp;
