Orono remained in the top spot of the Class 1A Minnesota High School Soccer Coaches Association poll released Monday.
The Spartans (9-0-2, 5-0-1) are unbeaten on the season, including a 6-0 win over Wright County Conference rival Delano last week, but another big showdown looms on their schedule: an Oct. 5 nonconference matchup with Blake.
The Bears (8-3-1, 3-1), meanwhile, continue sliding in the Class 1A rankings, moving from No. 2 spot to No. 4 after a 3-2 loss to Hill-Murray on Sept. 23. The victory sent the Pioneers to No. 2.
St. Paul Academy climbed to No. 3, creeping up a spot after beating New Life Academy 4-0 on Sept. 20 and Woodbury 1-0 three days later.
Mahtomedi (7-2-1, 3-0) stayed at No. 5 following a 2-0 win over South St. Paul on Sept. 19 and a 1-0 victory over Mounds View on Sept. 21. The Zephyrs still have a date with No. 8-1A Benilde-St. Margaret’s and a Metro East Conference collision with Hill-Murray on the schedule.
