One week left in the regular season and plenty of teams have a lot to play for in terms of positioning and even crashing the party. So here we go:

1. AI DuPont (8-0, 5-0 Flight B)

Points to date: 37 = 4.625
Remaining schedule: vs. Dickinson 11/9
Possible bonus points left: 0
Potential final point total/index: 41 = 4.55
Tigers continue to roll along to an unbeaten season. Without any major upsets, they’re locked in as the top seed in D2

2. Delmar (9-0, 5-0 Henny South)
Points to date: 39 = 4.33
Remaining schedule: @ Woodbridge 11/9
Possible bonus points left: 0
Potential final point total/index: 43 = 4.3
Delmar got all they could handle from Milford, but the talent eventually won out. Now they look to wrap an unbeaten regular season and Henny South title at Woodbridge on Friday.

3. Friends (7-1, 2-0 SPL)
Points to date: 33 = 4.125
Remaining schedule: vs. Tower Hill 11/10
Possible bonus points left: 0
Potential final point total/index 37 = 4.111
Friends was off this week, now it’s almost time for the 96th installment of the Friends/Tower game.

4. Tower Hill (8-1, 2-0 SPL)
Points to date: 37 = 4.1111
Remaining schedule: @ Friends 11/10
Possible bonus points left: 0
Potential final point total/index 41 = 4.1
Hillers took care of business against Dickinson, now prepare for Friends.

5. Archmere (8-1, 4-0 DSC)
Points to date: 36 = 4
Remaining schedule: @ FSMA 11/8
Possible bonus points left: 2 (Dover gets to 9 wins, DMA gets to 7)
Potential final point total/index: 42 = 4.2
The Auks just need to stay healthy and a very very interesting first round battle against Howard seems likely.

6. Howard (7-2, 5-1 Flight B)
Points to date: 34 = 3.77
Remaining schedule: @ Glasgow 11/9
Possible bonus points left: 1 (AI getting to 9 wins)
Potential final point total/index: 39 = 3.9
A disappointing forfeit gave Howard their 7th win and locked up a tournament spot for them, but they’ll need their energy for a Glasgow team that always gets up to play them.

7. Woodbridge (7-2 overall, 5-0 Henny South)
Points to date: 32 = 3.55
Remaining schedule: vs. Delmar 11/9
Possible bonus points left: 1 (Dover getting to 9 wins)
Potential final point total/index: 37 = 3.7
Woodbridge completed their 3 game road swing with a flourish over Indian River, now prepares for Delmar in what could be game of the year material. A win would be huge…and likely set up a rematch at Delmar the opening weekend of the tourney.

8. DMA (6-3 overall, 3-1 DSC)
Points to date: 32 = 3.55
Remaining schedule: vs. Conrad 11/10
Possible bonus points left: 1 (Archmere getting to 9 wins)
Potential final point total/index 37 = 3.7
A shutout win over Newark propels DMA into the 8th spot, meaning a first round showdown with AI could be on the horizon. That could be a track meet, but first, Conrad awaits.

9. Milford (5-4 overall, 3-2 Henny South)
Points to date: 28 = 3.11
Remaining schedule: @ Lake Forest 11/9
Possible bonus points left: 1 (DMA getting to 7 wins)
Potential final point total/Index: 33 = 3.3
Milford almost made this outlook a lot more confusing, but Delmar was too tough. Very slim chance at the tournament now.

10 St. Mark's (5-4 overall, nonconference)
Points to date: 26 = 2.88
Remaining schedule: vs. Sallies @ Baynard 11/9
Possible bonus points left: 2 (DMA getting to 7 wins, Archmere getting to 9 wins)
Potential final point total/index: 34 = 3.4
St. Mark's isn't quite dead yet. A win over Sallies and some help elsewhere would make for an incredible rally considering how half of their season has gone so far.
 
AI DuPont, Delmar, Friends, Tower Hill, Archmere, and Howard are in regardless of the outcome of the games next week.
