Inside Lacrosse Power Poll
Rank Team W L Commentary
1 Maryland 8 0 11 first place votes. A unanimous
No. 1, the Terps crushed Virginia and have fourth-ranked
Navy next.
2 Johns Hopkins 6 1 Rebounded from 9-8 OT loss
to UVa with gritty one-goal win over UNC. At struggling
Duke on Saturday.
3 Syracuse 6 1 Had no problem with Hobart or prevfiously
undefeated Brown thanks to Powell and Crockett. Loyola
comes to the dome on Sat.
4 Navy 7 1 Maybe the hottest team in the country,
Navy got another big win over ranked G-town. Big test
this weekend against Terps.
5 Princeton 4 2 Coming off loss, Tigers handled
Yale. Interesting in state matchup with Rutgers coming
up.
6 North Carolina 5 3 One-goal loss to Hopkins is
tough pill to swallow. But the Heels can hang with the
best. Virginia's up on Sat.
7 Georgetown 5 2 Close games finally caught up
to the Hoyas in loss to Navy. Can right the ship against
Vermont on Saturday.
8 Army 6 2 With so many teams losing, Army's wins
over Lafayette and Marist moved them up. Have Yale midweek.
9 Ohio State 7 2 All of a sudden OSU is a top ten
team. Why? Because they beat two top ten teams. Butler
is next on friday.
10 Duke 4 4 The Devils are showing their youth,
now at .500 after loss to OSU. Doesn't get easier with
JHU next.
11 Brown 6 1 Had a tough go against visting Cuse.
But Brown is by no means out of it. At Yale on Saturday.
12 Virginia 3 5 The Cavs are in a hole again after
getting plastered by Maryland. A loss to UNC on Sat. could
spell doom.
13 Towson 3 3 Tied for 13th. Frosh Engelke dropped
eight goals on Virginia. He's got a chance to do more
damage against Sacred Heart and the Mount.
14 Delaware 8 2 Tied for 13th. 12-10 win over Hofstra
is big win for the streaking Hens. Another test with Villanova
on Sat.
15 Cornell 4 2 The Red took one on the chin to
Ivy rival Penn. Will need to rebound quickly on road against
Harvard.
16 Rutgers 5 2 Broke a two game skid with 3OT win
over Fairfield. Thouugh didn't help the ranking. Princeton
is up on Sat.
17 Notre Dame 3 4 Tied for 16th. Took a loss to
surging Ohio State. But rebounded to smack Dartmouth.
The ill-fated AF/Denver road trip is next.
18 Denver 5 2 Took down Harvard in a big way. Denver
needs another big win to establish tourney resumer. Could
get it against ND on Friday.
19 Massachusetts 5 4 The Tundo brothers combined
for 10 points in rout of Penn State. Need to avoid letdown
in Friday night game against Manhattan.
20 Loyola 3 3 Needed two late goals to comeback
and beat Quinnipiac. Can't afford to do that against Cuse
on Sat.
