A momentary stumble from former No. 1 Carmel was all it took for New Hampshire dynasty Exeter to pounce.

A draw from Carmel dropped the Indiana program to No. 4 this week, allowing Exeter to move from fourth to first in the third NSCAA high school girls national top 25 released Tuesday. Exeter has won six New Hampshire state titles in seven seasons, including five in a row. Over that span, the Blue Hawks were an incredible 122-8-3 from 2006-2012, including a perfect 4-0-0 mark this year though last week.
