Minnehaha Academy is now the only soccer program in Minnesota to hold the top ranking in its class in both boys' and girls' soccer. Emphasis on "now."

A 9-0 start explains that spot atop Class 1A, but the Redhawks boys' team lost 2-1 Saturday at DeLaSalle after a 1-1 draw Thursday against Providence Academy.

The girls' team (9-1-1) also has a recent slip on its record, a 4-4 draw Saturday against Holy Family.

Stillwater had the boys-girls No. 1 double working in the previous rankings, but the Ponies girls' team fell to 11-1 with a 3-2 loss at Centennial. Wayzata (11-0-1) moved to the top of the girls' Class 3A rankings.
