An undefeated start after five games has the River Bluff girls’ soccer team atop the S.C. High School Soccer Coaches Association Class 5A Division I poll.
The Lady Gators (3-0-2) hold wins over Blythewood, West Ashley and Legion Collegiate Academy. They have two more non-region games before visiting White Knoll on March 17.
Lexington is ranked fifth in girls and sixth in the same divisions. The Swansea boys and Newberry girls are the only Class 3A ranked teams from the Lake Murray area.
The Mid-Carolina girls hold that distinction in Classes 2A/A.
