When I watched Kent forward Jack Broderick tally the game-tying and (eventual) game-winning goal against then-No. 1 Dexter Southfield on Saturday, I knew we were in for a top-five shake-up.
So here we go.
Our first in-season rankings are here. No team in the top five is where they were in our preseason rankings. That’s largely due to Kent, but it’s still notable.
The bottom five teams didn’t change all that much, although a new team joined the fray, as well as another new team in the “In the hunt” section.
There weren’t many teams in the Next 15 who had compelling cases for the top 10. That will likely change in the next few weeks, especially once the holiday tournaments arrive.
For the first time this season, let’s dive in.
