No. 1 Loyola Academy (Ill.) and New Tries (Ill.) headline their state while Ohio teams like No. 3 Olentangy Liberty (Ohio), No. 4 Upper Arlington (Ohio) and No. 5 St. Francis DeSales have flexed their muscles early in tournament action.

Our Midwest rankings cover Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin.
1. Loyola Academy (Ill.), 18-2
After nearly two weeks off, the Ramblers open sectional play against Payton (Ill.) with Latin (Ill.) or Lane (Ill.) to follow two days later. A sectional final Friday against Evanston (Ill.) could be a fun watch. Sophomore Molly Dwyer is just one point away from 100 on the season with 66 goals and 33 assists through 20 games. Previous: 1
2. New Trier (Ill.), 17-3
The Trevians impressed mightily in their regular season finale, beating a really good Lake Forest (Ill.) team by 10.

Previous: 2
3. Olentangy Liberty (Ohio), 18-1

Senior Brogan Wiles and junior Evie Ruma added hat tricks for Upper Arlington. Previous: 4
5. St. Francis DeSales (Ohio), 18-1
Don’t lose track of the top-seeded Stallions in Division II as they held No. 9 Granville to a single goal in the Region 7 quarterfinals. That’s no surprise given DeSales is yielding just 6.3 goals per game. Previous: 5
6. Hinsdale Central (Ill.), 15-5
The Red Devils passed the test in their challenging regular-season finale, topping a very good Benet Academy (Ill.) team on the road.

7. Carmel (Ind.), 17-3

8. Guerin Catholic (Ind.), 17-1
Can the Golden Eagles meet the Greyhounds in the state finals for the fourth straight season?

Their regular-season matchup was highly competitive with Guerin Catholic prevailing by two. Previous: 8
9. Prior Lake (Minn.), 13-0
The Lakers kept rolling, including a double-digit win over Minnetonka, one of Minnesota’s top 10 teams. Tali Baldzicki had a team-high six goals while Emerson Mattox (five goals, two assists) and Lauryn Knutson (two goals, five assists) tied for the team lead with seven points apiece. Previous: 9
10. Hudson (Ohio), 19-0

No. 3 Valor Christian (Colo.) was another state champion after finishing second in 2021 and 2022. They left no doubt with a dominant win.
