As one might expect there’s a fair bit of movement in this week’s Down Under Endeavours Top 25.

A busy round of matches has given us a peek at who’s legit and who’s a little shaky in some conferences.

Arizona takes the biggest hit after losing to previously unranked UCLA in the Southern California Premier League, while conversely the Bruins reappear in the rankings after a lengthy spell on the sidelines replacing Harvard, which drops out altogether.

In northern California, Stanford showed that it shouldn’t be taken lightly after giving St Mary’s fits, while down south, those Gators from Gainesville finally got the Tennessee monkey off their back and did so in convincing fashion.

Florida State also showed us that they can be competitive in DI and depending on their results in the weeks ahead, the Seminoles could force their way into the Top 25.
