Everyone will find out tomorrow, when Shore Regional, the only unbeaten team in the state at 22-0, tangles with Eastern (25-2), ranked No. 1 in South Jersey by The Inquirer, at Toms River High School East at 1 p.m.

Eastern, the top seed and defending TOC champion, is favored over No. 2-seeded Shore.

The state Group 4 titleholder, Eastern has won three times in the four-year history of the tournament. Shore, the North 2 Group 1 state champ, is making its debut.

The Blue Devils are buoyed by the fact that another small school, Oak Knoll, defeated large-school Eastern in the TOC in 2007. The upset occurred in a semifinal.

Shore will attempt to achieve the same result that led to a 4-2 semifinal win Wednesday over Madison: stall a potent offense by limiting the number of corner shots.

That will be difficult.

The Vikings amassed 26 corners in a 9-1 semifinal victory over Ocean City, in which all of the starting forwards scored multiple goals.

Especially dangerous in the scoring circle is Eastern's Kelsey Mitchell, the state's all-time leading scorer with 169 career goals. The center forward needs just two goals to tie the 1994 single-season scoring record of 69 goals by Michelle Vizzuso of West Essex.

Mitchell scored four times against Ocean City, three off of corners.

The Blue Devils also have a talented scorer: Brenna Rescigno. The senior midfielder scored a hat trick against Madison and two of the goals were on penalty strokes.

If Shore's defense, led by sophomore Hannah Barreca, allows Eastern to score early, the Blue Devils will dig a hole they may not be able to escape. The Vikings' defense has allowed 12 goals in 27 games and keeper Alana Barry has recorded 18 shutouts.
