Notes
- Enormous changes this week after a number of late season tournaments and state championship events!
- Oh, hey, Connecticut teams! Hotchkiss won the state championship and launched into the top 25 after Middletown, another strong CT team, went to Pioneer Valley Invite and beat Westfield and Lexington, while losing only to #2 Amherst…by one…twice.
- Radnor lands back in the top 25 after a dominant performance at Pennsylvania States where they defeated Pennsbury in quarters and North Allegheny in the final.
- Green Canyon upset Lone Peak to win Utah States and jumps back into the top 25.
- A number of teams got pushed out of the top 25 because of the new arrivals.
