Inside Lacrosse Power Poll
Rank Team W L Commentary
1 Johns Hopkins 7 1 8 first place votes. A 6-5 win over
Duke and back in first? The Jays have a chance to prove
they're really No. 1 against UMD.
2 Navy 8 1 4 first-place votes. Huge win over Terps vaults
Mids to No. 2. Easy weekend ahead against Lehigh and Holy
Cross.
3 Syracuse 7 1 Overcame a hot goalie to smack Loyola.
At dangerous Cornell on Tue. then Rutgers on Sat.
4 Maryland 8 1 First loss drops Terps to No. 4. But they
could get right back to No. 1 with a win in 100th meeting
with rival Hopkins.
5 Princeton 5 2 Staved off comeback to beat Rutgers. Home
vs. Penn starts five straight Ivy League games to end
the season.
6 North Carolina 6 3 May have buried UVa and secured playoff
berth with last win. Only UMBC remains before ACC tourney.
7 Georgetown 6 2 Rebounded from Navy loss with drubbing
of Vermont. Tough game at Loyola is next on Sat.
8 Army 8 2 Just escaped Yale with win then crushed Lehigh.
More conference games with Colgate and Bucknell coming
up.
9 Ohio State 8 2 State continues to surge with iwn over
Butler. Tough trip to Hobart coming up on Saturday.
10 Brown 7 1 Back in top 10 after squeaking out win over
Yale. Two Ivy games: home vs Harvard and at Penn.
11 Duke 4 5 Tough to knock one-goal loss to Hop. But the
Dukies are under .500 and desparate going into Charlottesville.
12 Towson 5 3 Frosh Engelke was on fire in two wins last
week. Tough week coming up with ranked Delaware on Wed.
and Hofstra on Sat.
13 Notre Dame 5 4 Tied for 13th. Swept pair of games in
Denver. Big GWLL matchup at home against Fairfield on
Sat.
14 Cornell 5 2 Tied for 13th. Got big Ivy win in OT against
Harvard. Try to keep winning streak alive hosting Cuse
and Dartmouth this week.
15 Rutgers 6 3 Valiant effort in loss to Princeton. The
Knights have a tough four-game stretch starting with Cuse
on Sat.
16 Virginia 3 6 After loss to UNC, one more defeat and
the champs have no shot at the tourney. Guess what? Equally
desperate Duke is next.
17 Massachusetts 6 4 With Zywicki done for the year, UMass
had 12 goalscorers in win over Manhattan. Cannell meets
former assistant Shay at Yale on Sat.
18 Denver 6 3 Beat Fairfield but lost to ND. Denver still
needs another big win to get into tourney. Air Force on
Sat. won't do it.
19 Delaware 8 3 Tied for 19th with Dartmouth and Villanova.
After loss to Nova, visit to talented Towson could spell
a losing streak for the Hens.
20 Dartmouth 6 2 Tied for 19th with Delaware and Villanova.
After loss to Notre Dame, big Ivy game against Penn looms.
