Unbeaten Manchester Valley, Nyack Soar in High School Girls' National Top 25

Public schools Manchester Valley (Md.) and Nyack (N.Y.) are ranked seventh and eighth, respectively, in this week's USA Lacrosse High School Girls' National Top 25.

Both remained unbeaten, with the Mavericks sweeping a pair of games at the Severna Park (Md.) Playday and the Redhawks soaring past Summit (N.J.) a week after dismantling New Canaan (Conn.).

The top of the rankings are unchanged through the first six teams, a few of whom had the chance to flex their muscles last week.

No. 1 St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) continues to set the pace and picked up a valuable win over No. 4 Darien (Conn.). Similarly, No. 2 Episcopal (Pa.) won decisively over former No. 9 Agnes Irwin (Pa.), and No. 6 Bayport-Blue Point (N.Y.) defeated Westhampton (N.Y.), which had been ranked seventh.
