Change is unavoidable, even in the state coaches association Class 1A girls' soccer rankings.
No team maintained its ranking from last week, with the top three teams all shifting down a spot to make room for a new No. 1 -- Totino-Grace. A combination of a 3-0 start and outscoring opponents 13-1 (including a 9-0 route of Park Center on Sept. 1) has vaulted the Eagles up from No. 4. Totino-Grace's position, however, could be precarious after a loss at Centennial 2-1 on Tuesday.
St. Paul Academy made the most drastic leap, moving up six spots to No. 7.
Benilde-St. Margaret's, Orono and Blake kept their order after all suffered single losses, filling out the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 spots. Holy Angels rounds out the top 5, taking a step up from its No. 6 ranking last week.
Class 2A
Eagan is the only squad to not budge this week, holding down the No. 1 spot with a perfect record this season.
Lakeville North has stumbled out of the gate and tumbled seven spots to No. 10.
Edina pushed up the rankings, moving from No. 10 to No. 5. The Hornets have started the season 4-0 and look to cement their place in the Top 10 with games against No. 9 Eden Prairie and No. 2 Wayzata coming up.
