The dust has settled after Notre Dame Prep’s historic win over McDonogh, snapping the Eagles’ 198-game winning streak in the IAAM championship game, and the Nike/US Lacrosse High School Girls’ National Top 25 remains largely unchanged.

Among top-10 teams who solidified their status with titles:

• No. 7 Georgetown Visitation (D.C.) claimed its first-ever ISL championship, defeating tournament Cinderella Holton-Arms (Md.) in the final. The latter’s upset of longtime ISL standard-bearer St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes (Va.) paved the way for Visitations’ breakthrough.

• No. 8 Novato (Calif.) rolled to its fourth straight CIF-North Coast Section championship and finished 24-1, its lone blemish coming against then-No. 1 McDonogh.

• No. 10 Bishop Ireton (Va.) made it a sweep of the WCAC and VISAA crowns, defeating Good Counsel (Md.) and St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes (Va.), respectively.
