Current # | Previous # | Team | State | Record | Notes |
1 | 1 | St. Ignatius | California | (15-1) | They have impressive resume which wins over an assortment of teams throughout the country highlighted by a 10-8 over Landon (MD). |
2 | 2 | Foothill-Santa Ana | California | (19-1) | Ended their regular season with one loss on the season to Lincoln-Sudbury (MA). OCLA playoffs with a potential Foothill vs CDM match up. |
3 | 3 | Cherry Creek | Colorado | (14-1) | They have handled all in-state competition and have strong out of state wins to complete their resume. |
4 | 4 | Corona Del Mar | California | (17-0) | Perfect on the season with only only two games within 5 goals. They have San Clemente up next in the OCLA. |
5 | 6 | Regis Jesuit | Colorado | (13-2) | They are the #2 team in Colorado in what looks to be a 3 team race. They hold the edge over Mountain Vista because of there 10-9 win on 3/21. |
6 | 7 | Mountain Vista | Colorado | (11-1) | Beat Kent Denver and Ararpahoe to lock up the #3 spot in Colorado. Looking forward to a possible Regis Jesuit vs MV rematch in the playoffs. |
7 | 8 | Coronado Red | Nevada | (16-1) | Finish the regular season beating the Nevada’s #2-4 team each for the third time of the season. Lone loss was to Claremont School from Canada in OT. |
8 | 9 | Corner Canyon | Utah | (17-1) | Lone loss was to their in-state rival, Park City, but their strength of schedule outside of Utah keeps them higher in the rankings. |
9 | 12 | St. Margarets | California | (17-3) | Got tripped up by Bellarmine Prep over spring break and their other two losses are against the #2 and #4 team in Top 20. |
10 | 5 | Mercer Island | Washington | (17-1) | Their undefeated season was undone by Bellevue last week. Issaquah on 5/8 to end the regular season. |
11 | 14 | San Ramon Valley | California | (14-2) | Last game of the regular season on 5/8 against Monte-Vista Danville. They have put together a solid season so far. |
12 | 13 | Park City | Utah | (18-1) | They are the #1 team in Utah after their 7-6 win over Corner Canyon but loss to Coronado Red keeps them a few spots below CC in Top 20. I will be exciting to see the rematch between these team in the state playoffs. |
13 | 10 | Eastside Catholic | Washington | (13-2) | Loss to Mercer Island and win over Bellevue has them hovering as a 2/3 in state in what looks to be a very competitive playoff race. |
14 | 16 | Torrey Pines | California | (12-7) | Seven losses are the most of any Top 20 team but have played arguably the hardest schedule in the west. Cathedral Catholic to end the regular season. |
15 | N/R | Bellevue | Washignton | (14-3) | Incredible week beating Mercer Island and Issaquah last week! Could be finding it’s groove at the rigth time of the season. |
16 | 11 | West Linn | Oregon | (10-4) | They split games with Lakeridge but their win over Sunset gives them the edge in state. |
17 | 17 | Lakeridge | Oregon | (10-3) | Split with West Linn and dropped a game to Sunset. No teams with winning records until playoffs. |
18 | 18 | Kent Denver | Colorado | (10-5) | Tough stretch of three straight losses to the #1-3 teams in Colorado. Still a solid team with a chance to upset someone in the playoffs. |
19 | 15 | Issaquah | Washington | (15-2) | Loss to Bellevue in OT drops them in the rankings. Huge game with playoff implications against Mercer Island on 5/8. |
20 | 20 | Desert Vista | Arizona | (16-1) | They play Chapparal in the state championship on 5/9. This is a rematch of a 14-8 Desert Vista win in the first game of the season. |
