Independent schools:

- Cary Academy, which like NRCA plays in the TISAC, moved up four spots to No. 10 after defeating St. David's 5-2.
- St. David's moved up to No. 11 despite the loss to Cary Academy, in part because St. David's gave EPIC league rival Cary Christian its first loss.

- Cary Christian is 9-1-1 after the loss to St. David's and is 13th in the state.
