Not anymore. Windham has taken over second behind Kennebunk, which as been ranked No. 1 in every poll this spring. The likely culprit for the Eagles’ jump to second is Cheverus’ 18-10 win over previous No. 2, Thornton, on June 3. That victory elevated the Stags from fifth [last week](https://www.sunjournal.com/2026/06/02/class-c-team-rises-in-varsity-maine-girls-lacrosse-poll/) to No. 4, a spot behind the Golden Trojans.

Though Windham, the defending Class A champion, jumped Thornton in the Varsity Maine poll, the Golden Trojans are seeded second in Class A while the Eagles are third. * * * _The Varsity Maine girls lacrosse poll is based on games played before Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
