Cicero-North Syracuse, Conestoga Enter USA Lacrosse Public High School Girls' National Top 25

Manchester Valley (Md.) and Darien (Conn.) retain the top two spots and two newcomers join the latest USA Lacrosse Public High School Girls’ National Top 25.

Cicero-North Syracuse (N.Y.) makes its debut in the rankings at No. 23. The Northstars have a pair of one-goal wins and their only loss came at the hands of Wellesley (Mass.).

One of that Wellesley team’s three losses was to Coronado (Calif.), which has kept its perfect record through 16 games to move up three spots to No. 17. Coronado is one of only three unbeatens in the Top 25 along with Manchester Valley and Nyack (N.Y.). Nyack climbed a few more spots to No. 4.

The other new team to the Top 25 is Conestoga (Pa.), a perennially strong program that started its season slowly. The defending 3A state champions picked up an overtime win over West Chester Henderson (Pa.).

Stoga is scheduled to face another perennial power, Radnor (Pa.), on Thursday. Radnor won last year's matchup for the Central League title, and Stoga came back to win the district title and then the state championship over Radnor.

West Islip (N.Y.) also made a big move up to No. 13. Since losing two of their first three games — to highly ranked Bayport-Blue Point (N.Y.) and Sayville (N.Y.) — the Lions have won nine straight, including a win over Smithtown West (N.Y.).

Summit (N.J.) and Moorestown (N.J.) flipped spots in the Top 10 after Moorestown suffered its first loss to Oak Knoll (N.J.), which Summit beat earlier this year.

In the regional rankings, the West Region had the biggest changes. San Ramon Valley (Calif.) used a huge win over St. Ignatius (Calif.) to vault to the No. 2 spot and three new teams entered the regional rankings.

Grant (Ore.) has lost just once this year and comes in at No. 7. San Marcos (Calif.) rode an overtime win over previously ranked Torrey Pines (Calif.) to move into the No. 9 spot. And Issaquah (Wash.) owns wins over Bainbridge Island (Wash.) and Eastlake (Wash.) to surge to the final spot in the rankings.

In the South, No. 5 Ponte Vedra (Fla.) lost a heartbreaking one-goal game to Bartram Trail (Fla.) in the playoffs to end its season. Prior Lake (Minn.) made a big move in the Midwest up to No. 6 with its 5-0 start.
