After ending a two decade championship drought, Maryvale Prep is the No. 1 team in the final High School on SI’s DMW girls lacrosse Top 25 poll of the spring.

The Lions (13-5 overall) won the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland (IAAM) A Conference title for the first time since 2002. After dropping three of the final five regular season matches, including one-goal losses to McDonogh School and Archbishop Spalding, Maryvale (playoffs No. 4 seed) knocked off No. 1 seed McDonogh in overtime in the semifinals and rallied past second-seed Spalding in the final. 

The Lions recorded 10 victories over teams ranked in the final Top 25, including Washington Catholic Athletic Conference champ Our Lady of Good Counsel. The Falcons, who won their fourth straight WCAC crown, finished No. 2 with Spalding, McDonogh and Maryland Class 2A state champ Manchester Valley completing the Top 5.

The second 5 features St. Paul’s School, Stone Ridge of the Sacred Heart, Potomac School, St. Stephens & St. 
Agnes and Broadneck. Stone Ridge won the Independent School League AA Division crown while Broadneck captured its fifth consecutive Maryland Class 4A championship.

Marriotts Ridge finished 11th after winning the Maryland Class 3A title and District of Columbia state champ St. John’s College is No. 15. Yorktown, which captured the Virginia Class 6 state crown over the weekend, is 17th, with Maryland Class 1A state champ South Carroll and IAAM B champion Mount de Sales Academy, finishing 22nd and 25th, respectively.
