Fenwick and Carroll, rivals in the GCL Co-Ed North, underwent the greatest change. Fenwick bumped up a division to D-III, Region 12 following the annual revised competitive balance count. Carroll dropped a division to D-III, Region 12.

With Alter and Chaminade Julienne staying put, that means all the GCL North teams are lumped in D-III, Region 12.
