September is quickly coming to a close and the state tournament isn't far off now.

Which teams are the top in South Jersey as the season's first month is completed?

Here are our latest Mean 15 rankings:

1. St. Augustine 5-1 (Last Week - 1). The Hermits have allowed only two goals to in-state competition this year and their only loss was a close 2-1 defeat to Salesianum in Delaware.

2. Washington Township 5-2 (3). Two strong victories over No. 6 Haddonfield and Cherry Hill East gave the Minutemen wins in four of their last five contests.

3. Clearview 8-0 (7). The Pioneers claimed a season-defining win over a very good Delran program and also toppled Kingsway thanks to two goals from Jack Accorsi, who has a team-leading 11 on the season.

4. Delran 5-1-1 (2). A 2-1 week was slightly dampened by a shutout loss to Clearview, but the Bears still possess a ton of talent and appear poised for another strong run.

5. Shawnee 5-1-1 (4). The Renegades tallied their first two shutouts this season with Aidan Giquinto picking up a hat trick in a victory over Cherokee.

6. Haddonfield 4-2-2 (6). A 3-0 loss to Washington Township suggests that while the Haddons are a good program, they may have a little bit more room to grow to be a top five team in the region.

7. Kingsway 5-2 (8). The Dragons competed well this week with a close loss to Clearview and a 2-1 win over a solid Williamstown team.

8. Haddon Township 6-0-1 (11). Two more shutouts brings the Hawks' total to five this season, including three in a row.

9. Glassboro 6-0-2 (12). A 3-0 week in which the Bulldogs flashed their offense (14 combined goals) kept the Bulldogs spotless in the loss column

10. Schalick 6-0-1 (13). The Cougars edged out a win over Woodstown before a commanding 6-0 victory over Gloucester Catholic wrapped up the week.

11. Williamstown 3-2-1 (14). The Braves hung with Kingsway in a tight defeat but scored a competitive 1-0 win over Triton to keep their stock on the rise.

12. Triton 5-2 (9). A tough loss to Williamstown showed how tight the Tri-County Conference is right now. The Mustangs did flash some scoring depth with five different players tallying in a 5-0 win over Highland on Sept. 17.

13. Cherry Hill East 5-2-2 (NR). A win over Eastern and barely losing to No. 2 Washington Township boosted the Cougars to a spot on this week's list.

14. Eastern 4-1-2 (10). Two wins marked a strong week for the Vikings but a tough 3-0 shutout defeat to Cherry Hill East dampened the mood just a bit.

15. Moorestown Friends 5-1 (NR). Four wins in a row, including one over former No. 15 Moorestown has the Foxes riding high.

Under consideration: Florence (6-0), Moorestown (4-2), Northern Burlington (5-3)
