Brunswick Stays Hot in USA Lacrosse High School Boys' National Top 25

Brunswick (Conn.) has been a beast in Mid-Atlantic matchups. The Bruins have played five of the top six teams in the Mid-Atlantic Region and won all five games to move to No. 3 in the latest USA Lacrosse High School Boys' National Top 25, presented by CWENCH Hydration. 

There are also four new names in the national rankings. La Salle (Pa.) edged St. Anthony's (N.Y.) for a huge win to start its week, then it held off Radnor (Pa.) to move into the Top 25. La Salle is followed by a Choate (Conn.) team that hasn't lost since opening with a spring break trip to Radnor. Choate vaulted into the rankings with an in-region win over Deerfield (Mass.). 

Two other newcomers are also starting to play some better lacrosse. Avon Old Farms (Conn.) makes its first appearance after a 3-1 start, and Loyola Blakefield (Md.) rides its four straight wins into the top spot in its conference and into the national rankings.

Brunswick upended both Lawrenceville (N.J.) and Episcopal (Pa.). There's no break for the Bruins, who get a one-loss Taft (Conn.) squad to start the week. That's just one of the key matchups of the week. Taft also takes on Deerfield.

Culver Academy (Ind.) earned a top-flight win over Delbarton (N.J.) in the Golden Domer Spring Classic at the University of Notre Dame. Culver will face Western Reserve (Ohio) in a showdown with regional and national merit. 

Malvern Prep (Pa.) has a big week with an in-conference meeting against Episcopal and an out-of-state matchup against St. Anthony's (N.Y.). Malvern topped rival Haverford School (Pa.) last week.

Loomis Chaffee (Conn.) will take on Avon Old Farms in another Top-25 battle. Avon Old Farms and Choate also face off in a matchup of the latest ranking additions.
