first place votes. Down year? Didn't look like that
in a whippin' of G-Town on Sat. The young Dukies
are next. |

Boyle
and Doneger were unstoppable against the Q. Can
the Hop stop them, or only hope to contain them. |

Now all the Heels need is consistency...and a win

The
Knights served notice last year was no fluke by
smacking Dartmouth. They've got Delaware next. |

We
warned you. Frosh Danowski had 6 pts in win over
UMBC. What will he do for an encore against VMI
(Tu) and UMD (Sat). |

The
Red running and gunning? That's what they did in
a big win over Hofstra. A wounded G-Town awaits
on Sat. |

Wow!
Upset victims twice in one weekend. The Hoos drop
7 spots after L's to AF and Den. Uh oh, the Orange
are next. |

The
frosh, the transfers, the returners: everyone looked
impressive for the Hounds on Sat. Will it continue
against Hofstra. |

Massachusetts |

Four
key injuries and a talented opponent led to a poor
opening effort. Can they right the ship against
Hart. (Wed) and SB (Sat). |

Statement:
Irish drop 17 goals on Penn State. They're not sneaking
up on anybody, especially not Cuse (Mar 11). |

Hoyas
took one on the chin to Terps. Cornell isn't going
to be much easier. G-Town needs a quick fix. |

The
Pride were just a few steps behind Cornell in opener,
but proved they belong. Now they need a W against
Loyola. |

Beating
Navy was a big step in the right direction. On the
road again against UMBC on Sat. |

An
undefeated weekend that included a 9-7 upset of
UVA. Confidence is riding Mile High for the Pioneers. |

Looked
unimpressive in second half against Loyola. But
should have a gimme against Providence on Sun. |

An
epic upset over UVa followed by an 8-4 win over
Vermont. Is the sky the limit for the Falcons? |

State
has 12 goals in two games, which incidentally wouldn't
have been enough against ND on Sat. At Fairfield

Apparently
a one-goal loss to Hopkins is enough to get you
into the top 20. A W over Nova on Sat. will validate
that. |
