5. Weddington (N.C.), 11-0
The Warriors have been stellar despite some tough road goals, including a 10-9 win at Cardinal Gibbons in just their second game of the season and a 14-11 win at Charlotte Latin (N.C.) four days later. They’ll need to channel their inner warrior once again for the grueling stretch of games they have coming, from Marvin Ridge (N.C.) to Lake Norman (N.C.) to a second battle with Charlotte Latin. Previous: NR
6. Ponte Vedra (Fla.), 11-2
Since a season-opening loss to Milton (Ga.), the Sharks have won 11 of their last 12 games with their lone loss coming against nationally-ranked St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes.

Previous: NR
7. Lassiter (Ga.), 7-6
Give the Trojans credit for taking on a brutal schedule.

Not only did they knock off eight-time defending state champion Hutchison, but they outscored the Sting, Brentwood (Tenn.), St. Mary’s Episcopal (Tenn.) and Ensworth (Tenn.), 70-25, over a four-game road trip. An April 16 trip to Ravenwood (Tenn.) offers another huge chance for Harpeth Hall to prove itself. Previous: NR
10. Hockaday (Texas), 9-3
The Daisies appear to have overcome three straight losses, all against strong competition. They have won six straight, including impressive victories over Walton (Ga.) and Highland Park (Texas). Previous: 5

6. Eden Prairie (Minn.), 0-0
The Eagles’ run of state titles ended last year after a finals loss to Apple Valley (Minn.) completed their 16-3 season. The squad looks to have a solid defense this year, led by defender Kate Pearson (Marquette) and goalie Emilie Bloyer (Richmond). Previous: 7
7. Carmel (Ind.), 5-0
The Greyhounds, coming off a state championship season, have continued to dominate the Hoosier State, outscoring opponents 70-25. Carmel has displayed a balanced attack, led by Hannah Kim (14 goals) and Ava Wetzel (13 goals). Previous: 9

The Knights gained confidence with an early-season 15-13 win over preseason-ranked La Costa Canyon (Calif.), and they’ve cruised since then. Ashley Stokes already has 44 goals and 46 assists, and Brooke Williams adds 42 goals and five assists, as Foothill has outscored opponents 173-71. Previous: NR
6. Regis Jesuit (Colo.), 5-1

They lost to perennial Georgia power Milton and nationally-ranked American Heritage-Delray (Fla.) but collected a 13-5 win over eight-time defending Tennessee state champion Hutchison to close the trip.

The Hornets bounced back from their first loss to Granite Bay with three straight wins, including an 11-10 decision over St. Ignatius (Calif.), but they slipped up against Redwood (Calif.), falling 16-15. Novato isn’t accustomed to close games, so it’s a new challenge for the players, who also are transitioning under first-year coach Cori Conner. Against St. Ignatius, sophomore goalie Pascale de Buren stopped the Wildcats’ first seven shots and finished with 13 saves, and Maddy Frank tallied five goals to lead the attack. Previous: 2
