Practices are beginning for several teams in the Northeast and West this week, and some teams have already started to play meaningful games in those regions. For the first time in a long time, lacrosse is back across the entire country.
That will lead to shakeups in the future, but for now, the top of Nike / US Lacrosse High School Girls’ National Top 25 remains largely unchanged. The only notable change is that St. Paul’s (Md.) has entered the top 10 at No. 9 after a 2-0 week. St. Paul’s plays McDonogh on Wednesday in a key in-state matchup.
