Wisconsin Soccer Central

Nineteen of the 20 teams ranked in this week's Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association boys state polls were in last week's rankings, but all the polls saw plenty of movement – including new No. 1 teams in two of the three divisions.

Defending WIAA state champion Mount Horeb moved up to the top spot in Division 2, while Sturgeon Bay is the new No. 1 in Division 3, trading places with reigning state champion Racine Prairie School.

The top five teams in the Division 1 poll remained the same, heading up by Milwaukee Marquette and Middleton.

The Hilltoppers extended their unbeaten streak to 53 (50-0-3) by winning all four of their matches last week, rallying past Brookfield East 3-1 to clinch the Greater Metro Conference and outscoring foes from Missouri and Kentucky by a combined 8-2 to win their group at the Gateway City Classic in O'Fallon, Ill. Marquette has a high-profile season finale next Saturday as it faces St. Ignatius (Ohio) at Marquette University's Valley Fields – both teams are nationally ranked.

Middleton, meanwhile, won its opener at the Gateway City Classic, but had its 10-game unbeaten streak snapped with a 2-0 loss to St. Louis DeSmet on Friday and fell to Topeka Washburn Rural (Kan.) 2-1 on Saturday. The Cardinals face longtime rival Madison Memorial, Mount Horeb and No. 10 Brookfield East this week to close out the regular season.

Sturgeon Bay's first match with the No. 1 ranking is a big one: at third-ranked Green Bay NEW Lutheran on Tuesday. The Clippers handed the Blazers their lone loss with a 2-0 victory back on Sept. 6 and have a one-game lead in the Packerland Conference standings with two matches remaining.
