It takes a lot to reach the top of the ranking mountain—even for one month—but the Soccer Domain Football Club's Rangers team in Montclair did it.
The Montclair squad and defending New Jersey State Cup 2012 (B13 Flight) champions are poised for a big spring campaign. In October, the team took the YMS Columbus Cup (B13 Championship) championship, going 3-1-0 and defeating Brentwood SC Aguila 4-0 in the final, according to Youth1 Media.
