Changes Below First Four in Nike/USA Lacrosse High School Girls' Top 25
For the second week in a row, there are changes beyond the first four in the Nike/USA Lacrosse High School Girls’ National Top 25.
Another top-five win by Darien (Conn.) solidifies the Blue Wave’s top spot after they handed New Canaan (Conn.) their first loss.
Ward Melville (N.Y.) bounced back from its first loss to hand Northport (N.Y.) its first defeat. Both now sit in the middle of the Top 25. Another unbeaten, Bayport-Blue Point (N.Y.), climbs one spot with its promising start to the year, but the only other movement comes in the final Top 25 spots.
Garden City (N.Y.) returns to thasde rankings after putting together a winning streak. St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) also inches into the Top 25 in the final position with a 9-2 start. The New York duo are the lone newcomers to the rankings this week.
