Syracuse Lacrosse: Steady at Top Spot in Both Polls

Syracuse and North Carolina remain as the number one and two teams in the country. The Orange took down long time rival, Johns Hopkins, to keep steady in the first spot in both polls. The ACC holds on to the top four positions in both polls with Virginia looking in from behind at #7/7.

The Syracuse Orange remain in the top spot in both polls after beating Johns Hopkins 13-10 on Saturday. The ACC holds on to the top four positions in both polls, but the Virginia Cavaliers drop one spot in both polls to 8/8 after falling 9-11 to Notre Dame. The Big Ten has three teams in both rankings: Maryland Terrapins 5/6, Ohio State Buckeyes 15/17, and Johns Hopkins Blue Jays 20/19. The Buckeyes enter the polls this week in place of Holy Cross after the Crusaders lost to the Harvard Crimson and the Bucknell Bison. The Ivy League is the only other conference, along with the ACC, to get five teams in both polls. The Cornell Big Red move up to 7/7, followed by the Yale Bulldogs 9/9, the Brown Bears 12/12, the Princeton Tigers 13/10, and the Harvard Crimson 16/15.
