Typically, a No. 1 team would have to lose to get knocked out of its top slot. However, Blake's win over Andover pushes the Bears to the top slot this week. The Bears, winners of six straight games, do battle with No. 2-AA Forest Lake on Monday afternoon a 3:15 p.m.
After pulling out an overtime win over Farmington, Eagan fell to unranked Lakeville North, sending the illness-ridden Wildcats to No. 9. The Wildcats' total of 19 wins is tied with their 2018-2018 regular season tally. Maple Grove replaces Eagan at No. 7.
Edina trades places with Andover after the Huskies' loss to Blake and the Hornets conclude the regular season with a record of 21-4.
Leading scorer Emily Cronkhite and the Eagan Wildcats slip from No. 7 to No. 9 after a loss to unranked Lakeville North.

10 | East Grand Forks | 14-8-2 |
A loss to unranked St. Paul United pushes South St. Paul from No. 5 to No. 9, and throws Section 4A into all sorts of chaos. These two teams met in last year's section final and could end up in the same position this year.
Fergus Falls moves up to No. 5 after handing Thief River Falls a 3-2 defeat, and the Otters have won seven of their past eight games. The last loss suffered by Fergus Falls came against No. 10-AA Brainerd/Little Falls by a score of 3-2.
With its fifth tie this season, Mound-Westonka concludes the 2018-2019 campaign undefeated, with No. 1-A Warroad the last team in the state that could accomplish that feat. The Warriors (24-0) take on Roseau on Monday night in the regular-season finale for both sides.
Mound-Westonka tied Delano/Rockford 1-1 to conclude the regular season undefeated at 20-0-0. Goaltender Taylor Smith wins every game but one for the Whitehawks.
