Over the past 10 days Saint John’s has shaken up the entire Catholic Conference standings. The Pioneers have knocked down every conference foe that’s approached them so far, including three that were previously unbeaten.

After falling to Saint John’s itself, Catholic Memorial won three in a row to stay at No. 2 in this week’s rankings.

The Hawks, the most recent victim of the Pioneer rampage, have a chance to bounce back when they host the No. 4 St. John’s Prep Eagles on Wednesday at 5:10 p.m.

Swamping places are BC High and Malden Catholic after the Lancers won the matchup between the two 2-0 on Sunday.
