1. Walsh Jesuit HS (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio) -- (21-0-1) *2 2. River Hill HS (Clarksville, Md.) -- (18-0-0) *5 Jamie Goertler scored her only goal of the season with a little more than two minutes remaining in the Maryland Class 3A state championship game. It was enough to vault River Hill over Bel Air High, 1-0, for the state title and a No. 2 ranking. River Hill has won 26 straight games and outscored opponents 57-5 this season. 3. Southside HS (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) -- (20-0-0) *6 Kaitlyn Dowling, Christine Abrahams and Liz Roberti all scored as Southside won its first state title since 1987 with a 4-1 thumping of Monroe Woodbury High. In the semifinals, it was Katherine Stritzl's goal with less than 10 minutes remaining that gave Southside a 1-0 triumph against Webster High. 4. Ludlow HS (Ludlow, Mass.) -- (21-0-0) *8 The Ludlow girls, just like the boys, defeated Marshfield High, 2-0, in the Massachusetts state finals. Stephanie Santos scored both goals, with Liz Dyjak assisting both times. The victory avenged last season's disappointing 2-1 loss to Newton North High in the title game. 5. Cranford HS (Cranford, N.J.) -- (21-0-1) *3 Cranford lost out on an opportunity to win the state title outright and finish the season with a No. 2 national ranking by playing a 0-0 tie with Middletown South High in the New Jersey Group 3 championship game. But the girls from Cranford obviously have nothing to be upset about. After three successful seasons that saw the team take one step closer to a title, Cranford achieved the goal of state champion this year -- even if the team does have to share the honor. 6. Carmel HS (Carmel, Ind.) -- (22-1-1) *7 Carmel was the first team in the Top 10 to win a state title a few weeks back and will now finish the season as the sixth-best team in the country. 7. Wayzata HS (Wayzata, Minn.) -- (20-1-0) *9 Also finishing play several weeks ago, Wayzata won a state championship in Minnesota and watched many Top 10 teams drop out. All of that turned into a No. 7 ranking for Wayzata at the end of the season. 8. Sandia HS (Albuquerque, N.M) -- (21-2-0) *10 Sandia cracked the Top 10 last week and will finish the season in the eighth spot. The girls from Sandia beat La Cueva High, 3-1, in the state finals on Nov. 4. 9. St. John Vianney HS (Holmdel, N.J.) -- (21-1-0) *NR St. John ended Immaculate Heart Academy's 56-game winning streak on a goal by Deana Contri for a 1-0 victory in the Parochial A title game. The win left IHA out of the Top 10 and St. John in with the season now complete. 10. Jesuit HS (Portland, Ore.) -- (18-1-0) *4 Another team that lost in the state finals but deserves recognition for all of its accomplishments is Jesuit. A 1-0 loss to Centennial High last Saturday in the state title game ended Jesuit's incredible 128-game winning streak against Oregon opponents, which dated back seven years. Jesuit also saw its overall 108-game winning streak come to an end. Dropped Out: No. 1 Immaculate Heart Academy (Washington Township, N.J.) (23-1-0) -- lost to St. John Vianney High, 1-0, in the state finals.
