October 25, 2016

There's still a month of high school soccer play remaining for fall teams, yet No. 1 is already locked down for the girls.

Davis (Kaysville, Utah) went wire-to-wire as No. 1 this year, sealing the top spot earlier than any previous SIMA FAB 50 No. 1 team.

This Utah power that graduated six NCAA Division I signees last year, yet still has another half dozen on the way to Division I programs in this year's starting lineup, capped a record-setting perfect season with a 2-1 state final victory over FAB 50-ranked Fremont (Ogden, Utah) last week.

Davis, led by Youth National Team participant Olivia Wade, outscored its opponents 120-8 en route to a second straight 20-0 season. Davis is riding a 44-match win streak, which is a Utah state record.

Here is a list of all-time SIMA FAB 50 Fall Girls No. 1 teams:

2016: Davis (Kaysville, Utah)
2015: McDonogh School (Owings Mills, Md.)

BIG MOVERS: BOYS: Green Hope (Cary, N.C.). Green Hope, the top-ranked team in Raleigh, jumped 20 spots to settle in at No. 11 this week.

Green Hope is earning a reputation as one of the nation's top all-around soccer public schools. ... GIRLS: Hunterdon Central (Flemington, N.J.). Hunterdon Central, with several Division I commitments in the starting lineup, jumped 16 spots to No. 20 this week. The team is ranked No. 2 in New Jersey by The Star-Ledger.
