Playoff action made an impact on the most recent Nike/USA Lacrosse High School Boys’ National Top 25 as well as regional rankings. McDonogh (Md.) made the biggest jump nationally up to No. 6 as the fifth seed knocked off three higher seeds on its way to winning the competitive MIAA A Conference title. The only newcomer in the Top 25 is St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes (Va.) which closed its season with an 11-10 win over Paul VI (Va.) to capture its first Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association Division I championship since 2019.

The first champions have been crowned in the Northeast, with Brunswick School (Conn.) avenging its first loss of the year to beat Salisbury School (Conn.) and then The Lawrenceville School (N.J.) to win the inaugural Prep Nationals and St. Anthony’s (N.Y.) claiming a third straight NSCHSAA Class AAA title by beating rival Chaminade (N.Y.) in overtime. There will be more championship opportunities coming up this week, and possibly some movement among the top 10.

McDonogh led the movers in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The Eagles flipped the script from a year ago when they entered the conference playoffs unbeaten only to be upset. McDonogh played its best lacrosse at the perfect time for a three-game run to net its first MIAA A Conference crown since 2016 by knocking off a St. Mary’s squad that was strong all year. Malvern Prep won a thriller for its league title and Don Bosco began gearing up for a run in the New Jersey playoffs.

Most all of the South Region had completed play before last week. Middle Creek (N.C.) made a move up on the strength of its last-minute state championship win after it stopped a well regarded Cardinal Gibbons (N.C.) team in the semifinals.

The Midwest Region has playoff fever with team jockeying to finish at the top of their divisions. There were no changes among the top seven teams that either did not play like Culver (Ind.) or began marching toward a title like St. Ignatius (Ohio) and Upper Arlington (Ohio). St. Xavier (Ky.) capped its impressive year with a state crown to move up two spots.

The West Region still has Colorado, Utah and Oregon teams vying for title supremacy. Torrey Pines (Calif.) and St. Ignatius Prep (Calif.) won section championships to finish their years well. Arapahoe (Colo.) played its way into the region rankings and looks to make more noise if it can continue its run.

NORTHEAST TOP 10

1. Mt. Sinai (N.Y.), 16-0

The high-flying Mustangs are now into the business end of their season as the top seed in the Suffolk Class C playoffs.

Sinai opens its postseason against Islip (N.Y.) in the semifinals. Previous: 1

2. Brunswick School (Conn.), 15-1

The Bruins are champions, capturing the inaugural Prep Nationals by defeating The Lawrenceville School (N.J.) on May 22, 12-6. That came after avenging their lone loss of the season, beating Salisbury School (Conn.), 11-7, in the semifinals. Chris Gaine had a huge weekend, Andrew Greenspan was solid, Tomas Delgado had a hat trick in the final and Will Donovan and Myles Spiess were dominant on the defensive end. Previous: 2

3. Darien (Conn.), 15-2

The Blue Wave cruised to a 16-3 win over Fairfield-Ludlowe (Conn.) in the FCIAC quarterfinals May 21.

Thomas Gravino had five goals and one assist, Jack Herendeen had three goals and four assists, Sam Gotham had two goals and one assist and Pax Marshall added a pair of goals for Victor, which meets either Gates-Chili (N.Y.) or Webster Schroeder (N.Y.) in the Section V Class B quarterfinals May 25. Previous: 5

6. Shoreham-Wading River (N.Y.), 15-1

Like Mt. Sinai, which handed the Wildcats their first loss of the year on the final day of the regular season, Shoreham-Wading River has a bye into the Suffolk Class C semifinals as the No. 2 seed. They meet a dangerous Bayport-Blue Point (N.Y.) team that beat Sayville (N.Y.) 17-5 in the opening round. Will we see SWR-Mt. Sinai round two for a county title? The Wildcats will have to avoid the semifinal upset to BBP for a second straight year. Previous: 6

7. Cold Spring Harbor (N.Y.), 14-1

The Seahawks closed out the regular season with a 10-3 win over Plainedge (N.Y.) and now they enter the postseason as the heavy favorite in Nassau Class D, where they’ll face ether Friends Academy (N.Y.) or Oyster Bay (N.Y.) in the championship. Cold Spring Harbor has been powered by a lockdown defense that averages just 4.8 goals against. Standout goaltender Spencer Will and future Ivy League defenders Jesse Phelan (Dartmouth) and Patrick Pisano (Yale) lead the stifling defense. Previous: 7

8. Garden City (N.Y.), 13-2

The Trojans capped the regular season with a comfortable 19-4 win over Roslyn (N.Y.), their seventh straight victory.

10. Massapequa (N.Y.), 13-1

The Chiefs are the top seed in the Nassau Class A playoffs, but the games among the top four seeds this year have been decided by one goal so very little separates Massapequa from Port Washington (N.Y.), Farmingdale (N.Y.) and Syosset (N.Y.). The Chiefs closed out the regular season with a 19-2 win over Valley Stream (N.Y.). Vin McDermott had four goals and three assists, Will Birney had four goals and one assist, Brendan Cook had three goals and Michael Durnin and Patrick Radomski had two goals and one assist in the win. Previous: 10

A win would put them in the championship game May 31 against either Taft (Conn.) or IMG Academy (Fla.). Previous: 5

7. Georgetown Prep (Md.), 14-6

The Hoyas fell to top-seeded Bullis in the IAC final. Georgetown made it far closer than their meeting 10 days earlier when Bullis won by five goals. The Hoyas got two shots off in the final 25 seconds but could not score a tying goal. The Hoyas season is concluded. Previous: 7
