USA Lacrosse High School Girls' Preseason Regional Rankings

THE WAIT IS OVER. High school lacrosse is back.

We love lacrosse at any level, but something hits different about interscholastic sports. Powerhouse programs reload, underdogs rise and the battle for championship glory begins.

Our annual preseason dive into the top teams and players yielded our most extensive coverage yet. New this year, teams with post-graduate athletes are eligible for USA Lacrosse regional and national rankings, while we will continue to produce public schools-only lists following a successful pilot in 2024.

St. Paul's (Md.), St. Anthony's (N.Y.), American Heritage-Delray (Fla.), Loyola (Ill.) and Colorado Academy (Colo.) are the No. 1 teams in their respective regions to start 2025.

In-season updates to the South Top 10 will begin Feb. 25, followed by the Mid-Atlantic and West on March 4 and the remaining regions (Northeast and Midwest) on March 11 — at which we will also begin weekly updates to the National Top 25.

Preseason public school rankings will be released March 4 and updated every two weeks.

Rankings are compiled by USA Lacrosse Magazine staff and contributors with input from high school coaches around the country.
