7. Mount St. Charles [R.I.], 20-0-3*

League: NEPSAC-B

Notes: In one of the greatest turnarounds in recent years, Mount St. Charles claimed the NEPSAC B crown with a 3-2 victory over Williston Northampton. MSC has not been a factor until a PG-heavy lineup delivered an undefeated season and the program's first-ever NEPSAC crown. Eli Tillinghast, Carter Robbins, and Johnluca Frenzilli helped Mount St. Charles build a 3-1 lead in the final. Williston scored a goal in stoppage time to narrow the margin to 3-2, but Mount St. Charles weathered the closing minute. In the semifinals, Mount St. Charles knocked off defending champion Suffield Academy. Mount St. Charles is only two years removed from a three-win season.

11. Loomis Chaffee School [Conn.], 14-6-0*

League: NEPSAC-A

Notes: At one point, Loomis Chaffee was looking like a NEPSAC A title contender until dropping five of its last six matches -- all to ranked teams. Loomis' season came to a close with a 1-0 setback to Northfield Mount Hermon in the NEPSAC Prep A quarterfinals.

12. Milton Academy [Mass.], 12-5-3*

League: NEPSAC-A

Notes: At one point, Milton was angling for a high seed in the postseason, but ended up losing its last three matches -- including a 3-2 overtime contest to top-seeded Taft School in the NEPSAC A quarterfinals. Milton and Taft had met in the previous two NEPSAC finals, with each program winning a title. Despite the late-season slide, Milton Academy finished second in the ISL behind Noble and Greenough.

13. Hotchkiss School [Conn.], 12-5-3*

League: NEPSAC-A

Notes: Despite not qualifying for the NEPSAC A tournament, Hotchkiss had a strong season which included wins over Loomis Chaffee and Berkshire School. Four of the five losses are to teams in this week's Top 15.
