Top 10 Connecticut High School Softball Rankings (5/20/2025)

1. Woodland Regional (18-0)

This week's No. 1 team is the Hawks, as they have won 18 in a row to start the season.

4. Amity Regional (17-2)

Amity Regional was undefeated up until a 1-0 loss to Cheshire in extra innings a couple weeks and then their only other loss to the Rams. Through 19 games so far, the Spartans have out-scored opponents 166-22.
