MCT Seeds Set for Kinnelon, Butler Girls Soccer
Kinnelon earns bye to first round, while Butler will face Mtn. Lakes in the preliminary round.
The Kinnelon and Butler girls soccer teams' road to a Morris County championship was mapped out at Wednesday night's seeding meeting, with one club grabbing a top five seed and the other finding itself outside of the top 10 and forced play a preliminary round game before entering the first round.
Kinnelon (5-2) secured the fourth seed for this years' MCT, with only one loss to a Morris County opponent, which came on Tuesday to No. 1 seed Villa Walsh.
For Butler (1-4-2), the No. 20 seed means that the Bulldogs will go against 13th seeded Mountain Lakes in a preliminary round matchup. The winner of that game will face Kinnelon in the first round.

Villa Walsh will face the winner of Whippany Park vs. Pequannock, who meet in the preliminary round on Sunday.
Randolph locked up the No. 2 seed over Mendham, thanks in large part to their 1-0 victory last week, which gave them a head-to-head avantage heading into Wednesday's seeding meeting. Mendham is the lone Morris County team ranked in the Star-Ledger top 20 teams in New Jersey, coming in at No. 19 earlier this week.
Randolph will face the winner of Montville vs. Hanover Park, and Mendham will go against the winner of Parsippany Hills vs. Morris Hills. Both preliminary round games are scheduled for Sunday.
