Top 10 rankings

1. White Plains (19-1): The Tigers end the regular season on top as they continue to show their offensive power. Dating back to a win last week against Nyack in the Red and Black tournament, they've outscored opponents 39-0. The pitching has been solid behind the arms of Alexis Tighe and Lily Onorato. Last week: 1
2. North Rockland (18-2): The Red Raiders finished the regular season by going 4-0 with real tests against Harrison, Arlington and an 11-inning thriller against Eastchester. While the bats have always be prevalent this season, the pitching has stood up, led by Tara Murphy and the emergence of Maddie Burns. Last week: 2
3. Clarkstown South (17-3): The Vikings stormed back with the offense leading the way last week. During the final week of the regular season, they outscored opponents, 52-17. Gillian Ulrich, Carley Voce, and Grace Camerlingo powered the offense, leading to a share of the league title with North Rockland. Last week: 3
4. Harrison (14-5): The Huskies continue to show why they are one of the area's top teams. They went 3-2 last week with the three wins coming against Ursuline, Eastchester and Ardsley. They had their 10-game winning streak broken last week with losses to Ursuline and North Rockland. Last week 5
5. Eastchester (16-3): The Eagles continued to roll with an adventurous week. They went 3-2 and clinched the League IIE title, and standout hitter Alyssa Peduto joined the 100-hit club in the team's win against Pelham. The Eagles saw their 15-game winning streak snapped with a loss at Harrison, and they ended the regular season with a loss in 11 inning to North Rockland. Last week: 4
6. John Jay-East Fishkill (14-3): The Patriots made the biggest jump this week. The offense continues to make noise as the team went 3-1 last week en route to a share of the league title with Arlington. They outscored opponents 33-9 but the pitching from Kate Barbosa and Lyla Dwyer has been stellar. Dwyer got her 100th career strikeout this past weekend in win over Yorktown. Last week: 8
7. Albertus Magnus (13-3): The Falcons finished the regular season strong, going 4-0 last week and only allowing one run in that stretch. They picked up a quality win against defending Class C champion Tuckahoe. The emergence Aubrey Dwyer, the younger sister to ace Teagan, has helped taken some pressure off of Teagan not just in the circle but also at the plate. Last week: 7
8. Pearl River (13-5): The Pirates make the jump into the rankings this week on the strength of their offense pounding out 42 runs last week and allowing 17. They got wins against Nanuet, Saunders and Nyack to clinch the League IIA title on Saturday. The offense is led by Cat Arnold, Taylor Donnolly, Bella Caparelli and Kiera Luckie. Last week: N/A
9. Tappan Zee (13-5): The Dutchmen took the biggest tumble after a pretty quiet final week. Their lone game last week was a loss to league rival Nyack. Last week 6
10. Ardsley (15-5): It was an up-and-down final week of the regular season for the Panthers. They had a couple of tough losses to Class AA powerhouses Eastchester and Harrison and got wins over Rye Neck and one of the surprises of the season, Edgemont. The Panthers have gotten a lot from Sofia Haber in the circle and at the plate, and seventh-grader Emma Philip has emerged at the plate. Last week 9
