Coronado (Calif.) Rides 15-0 Record to USA Lacrosse High School Girls' National Top 25 Ranking

Three new teams debut in this week’s USA Lacrosse High School Girls' National Top 25.

West Islip (N.Y.) vaults into the rankings after a pair of significant wins. The same for Garden City (N.Y.), another Northeast team on the rise after some quality losses earlier in the year.

The other newcomer hasn’t lost yet. Coronado (Calif.) pushed its win streak to 15 games to start the season, and notably is the only team to beat St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes (Va.) when the Saints came out West earlier.

The top five teams again kept their spots as all of them enjoyed flawless weeks. No. 1 St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) rallied rom a slow first quarter to defeat Chatham (N.J.) in the Gains for Brains Showcase. No. 4 Darien (Conn.) also won a good matchup in the event, defeating Sayville (N.Y.).

A pair of unbeaten public schools move up a spot apiece. Manchester Valley (Md.) with record-setting Emma Penczek is up to No. 6 while No. 7 Nyack (N.Y.) went across state lines for a quality win.
