| RANK | TEAM | REC | LW | COMMENTS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
1 | Tottenville | 8-0 | 1 |
The Pirates are red-hot after besting Madison, MSIT and Construction last week. Sure Cheryl Lopez is the most dominant pitcher, but Tottenville is proving there are some serious hitters in the lineup, too. Next: @ No. 5 Susan Wagner (Tuesday, 4 p.m.) |
|
2 | St. Joseph by the Sea | 5-0 | 3 |
An anticipated second showdown with Moore Catholic was postponed because of inclement weather Sunday. Sea’s next big challenge comes Saturday when defending CHSAA state champion Archbishop Molloy comes to Huguenot. Next: @ Notre Dame Academy (Tuesday, 4 p.m.) |
|
3 | Moore Catholic | 5-1 | 5 |
The Mavericks, who enjoyed an eight-run third inning in a 12-7 victory over Villa Saturday, will have to wait until May 2 to attempt to avenge a loss to rival St. Joseph by the Sea. |
|
4 | Preston | 5-0 | 8 |
Already with impressive wins against Fontbonne Hall and Mary Louis, Preston picked up its biggest victory of the year against Archbishop Molloy, beating the Stanners, 3-0, in a non-league game last week. Next: Cardinal Spellman (Tuesday, 4 p.m.) |
|
5 | Susan Wagner | 6-0 | 9 |
The Falcons can’t wait to take on rival and top-ranked Tottenville. After a rainout Monday, that wait comes to an end Tuesday. Next: No. 1 Tottenville (Tuesday, 4 p.m.) |
|
6 | Archbishop Molloy | 6-1 | 2 |
Maria Palmeri returned from a back injury to belt a home run and drive in three runs against rival St. Francis Prep, but the Stanners took a step backward in a 3-0 non-league loss to Preston. Next: @ Christ the King (Tuesday, 3:45 p.m.) |
|
7 | St. Francis Prep | 7-2 | 4 |
The Terriers put a loss to rival Archbishop Molloy behind them with a 10-4 thumping of Fontbonne Hall Monday thanks to a seven-run second inning. Next: @ No. 12 Mary Louis (Wednesday, 3:45 p.m.) |
|
8 | Construction | 7-1 | 7 |
The Red Hawks had a mixed bag last week in games against two PSAL semifinalists from a year ago. They beat Francis Lewis, 9-0, but fell to Tottenville, 15-2. Next: No. 15 Bryant (Tuesday, 4 p.m.) |
|
9 | James Madison | 6-2 | 6 |
The Lady Knights lost some of their mojo last week, following a 3-0 defeat at Tottenville with a 7-6 loss to Francis Lewis. Next: Bushwick (Wednesday, 4 p.m.) |
|
10 | Fontbonne Hall | 4-4 | 12 |
The Bonnies enjoyed a big extra-inning win against Mary Louis, but were pounded by St. Francis Prep, 10-4, on Monday. Next: No. 6 Archbishop Molloy (Wednesday, 3:45 p.m.) |

11 | Francis Lewis | 8-2 | 11 |
It’s hard to figure out where the Patriots stand among the PSAL hierarchy after a 9-0 loss to Construction that was followed by a stirring 7-6 victory over James Madison. Next: Queens HS of Teaching (Wednesday, 4:30 p.m.) |
|
12 | Mary Louis | 3-5 | 10 |
The Hilltoppers continue to struggle to close out games, losing to Fontbonne Hall in extra innings. Mary Louis can take a huge step forward Wednesday against St. Francis Prep. Next: No. 7 St. Francis Prep (Wednesday, 3:45 p.m.) |

13 | McKee/Staten Island Tech | 7-2 | 13 |
The Seagulls bounced back from a tough 10-0 loss to Tottenville by besting a tough Clinton squad, 7-5, Saturday morning in The Bronx. Next: @ New Dorp (Wednesday, 4 p.m.) |
|
14 | Bayside | 8-1 | 14 |
The Commodores have won eight straight games since a 6-5 opening day loss to neighborhood rival Cardozo. Bayside was looking to avenge that defeat Monday, but Mother Nature had other plans. Next: Van Buren (Wednesday, 4 p.m.) |
|
15 | Bryant | 7-1 | NR |
The Owls have some serious pop in their lineup, as proven by a 12-2 victory against Cardozo last Thursday. Bryant has its biggest test of the season Tuesday at No. Construction. Next: @ No. 8 Construction (Tuesday, 4 p.m.) |
