Brunswick, Delbarton Wins Boost USA Lacrosse High School Boys' National Top 25 Rankings

Culver Academy (Ind.) is the lone team among the first 13 to hold its spot and three new teams entered a rapidly evolving USA Lacrosse High School Boys' National Top 25, presented by CWENCH Hydration.

A series of results led to a cascade of moves. Loomis Chaffee (Conn.) improved to 4-0 to jump up to No. 2. The Pelicans' latest win came against a Brunswick (Conn.) team that is taking on the hardest schedule in the country.

Before falling to Loomis, Brunswick earned a narrow win over Malvern Prep (Pa.). By the end of this week after they play Lawrenceville (N.J.) and Episcopal (Pa.), the Bruins will have played six of the top nine teams in the country within their first seven games.

St. Anthony's (N.Y.) became the first team this season to stop Episcopal by rallying at Rutgers to win an overtime thriller. But when the Friars returned home, Delbarton (N.J.) paid a visit and came away with a 9-7 win over St. Anthony's to further shuffle the rankings. 

Lawrenceville (N.J.) stayed in the mix of top-tier teams by getting by Deerfield (Mass.) in another neutral-site game. St. Sebastian's (Mass.) is the only other unbeaten team in the top 10 besides Culver. Taft (Conn.) is the only team to give Sebs a close game thus far. 

Georgetown Prep (Md.), Salesianum (Del.) and Highland Park (Texas) are newcomers to this week's Top 25. The Hoyas have been in and out of the rankings. They opened the year with wins over MIAA schools St. Mary's (Md.), Gilman (Md.) and Loyola Blakefield (Md.) and last week knocked off St. Andrew's (Fla.) to end their spring break road trip. 

Salesianum is still looking for a signature win. The Sallies have dominated in-state, but lost to Loomis by a goal and were competitive with Chaminade (N.Y.) on Saturday. They'll take a shot at West Region leader Loyola-Los Angeles (Calif.) and Western Reserve (Ohio) this week.

Highland Park has just one loss (to Culver) and has since reeled off 11 straight wins, including victories over Berkshire (Mass.), Benjamin (Fla.) and Torrey Pines (Calif.). A dangerous Dallas Jesuit (Texas) team waits in-state this week.
