3. After a week with relatively few upsets, it makes sense that the Top 10 spots in the US Lacrosse Division I Men’s  Top 10 would remain the same. But with three Top 10 matchups this week, that’s bound to change soon. Check out the full rankings here.

4. After a Sunday slate that featured a handful of big upsets, three teams joined the Nike / US Lacrosse Division I Women’s Top 20 this week. The top seven teams held their ground.

5. Three ranked match ups last week had the largest bearing on this week’s Nike/US Lacrosse Division II men’s Top 20. Maryville jumped five spots. On the women’s side, where 13 of the top 20 have yet to play their first games, Lindenwood maintained the top spot. Men // Women

6. Tufts moves into the No. 1 spot in the Nike / US Lacrosse Division III Men’s Top 10 after Salisbury lost their season opener to Lynchburg. The Sea Gulls are now ranked 4^th and the Hornets leaped all the way from 14^th to 3^rd on the back of the impressive win.

We feel very fortunate to be ranked No. in the country alongside so many other great teams on this list...and we hope to get to prove ourselves ON the FIELD in the not to distant future. #RollBos https://t.co/TXAczKiBJQ
