Limestone is the new No. 1 after taking down Lenoir-Rhyne, the previous top team.

Tufts' win over Christopher Newport proved the top three is comprised of the same old powers.

It was a seismic shift in the middle part of the USA Lacrosse Division II Men's Top 20.

After weeks of waiting, the NESCAC is back — and every team in our Top 20 is under way.

Several teams lurk near the bottom of the Top 20, and Palm Beach Atlantic currently occupies the last spot.

It's the final update before the NESCAC is in full swing.

Lenoir-Rhyne and Limestone remain standouts at the top, but Newberry is making a run at the top 10.

Are we all just trying to convince ourselves that somebody other than Salisbury and RIT will compete for the title?

There are already three new teams in the bottom of the Top 20 after just two weekends of action.

While we all wait for the NESCAC to begin, we can't ignore the ranking-shifting early results.
