Mount Sinai (N.Y.) was in jeopardy of falling out of the national rankings last week, sitting at No. 24 overall. Now, the Mustangs' spot is safe after they rallied off wins over then-No. 5 Christian Brothers and then-No. 18 Bayport-Blue Point (N.Y.). To add to an already great run, Mount Sinai blew out Mercy (N.Y.) 21-0, with seven goals and two assists coming from Gabriella Sartori. It now sits at No. 9 in the Nike/USL High School Girls' National Top 25.
The most movement came at the end of this week's rankings, as Eastport-South Manor (N.Y.), Manhasset (N.Y.), Conestoga (Pa.) and Episcopal Academy (Pa.) all enter the Top 25.
