Two weeks remain in the girls volleyball regular season as teams start making their conference and playoff pushes down the final stretch. Several games this week have conference implications (check out the Conference Races article here) and several of those feature ranked teams across all divisions.

Following is the Week 3 coaches poll, released Tuesday, and a brief summary of how they look this week. Check out all archived results here.

Division 1

After not even receiving honorable mention last week, West Bend West vaulted into the No. 4 spot this week in Division 1, headlining a very unstable week among the largest schools in the state. Burlington hung onto its top spot, but no one else held the same spot as they did last week. D.S.H.A. moved up one spot to No. 2, while former No. 2 Menomonee Falls had a rough go at its host tournament last weekend and fell all the way to No. 6. Watertown leapt from No. 9 to No. 3, its highest ranking of the season thus far. Verona remained unbeaten on the year and moved up one spot to No. 7, while Germantown, Arrowhead and Fond du Lac all improved from honorable mention status into the top 10 this week.

Notre Dame stayed at No. 4, Luxemburg-Casco improved one spot to No. 5 and Racine St. Cat’s fell out of the top five to No. 6 after a disappointing Bronze bracket showing at the Brittany Gigl Invite at Nicolet. Milwaukee Lutheran, Tomahawk, New Berlin West, Big Foot and McFarland remained unchanged this week, but Wisconsin Lutheran got a nod tied at No. 10 replacing Oconto Falls after the Panthers’ loss to Luxemburg-Casco last week.
