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."
Minnehaha Academy soccer teams double dip at No. 1 in latest state rankings
The Redhawks stand alone, now that Stillwater's girls' team has slipped from the top Class 3A spot.
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.
