Two more dominating wins pushed Adelphi’s record to 10-0 on the year and kept the Panthers at No. 1 in the Nike/US Lacrosse Division II Women's Top 20 again this week. Freshman Kole Pollock had four goals and two assists in AU’s 19-10 win over No. 15 Pace, while 10 different Panthers scored in a 19-1 rout over Merrimack. Adelphi faces its stiffest three-game stretch ahead, with games against No. 14 New Haven, No. 5 LIU Post and No. 3 Le Moyne in the next 10 days.
With losses by No. 13 Regis, No. 14 New Haven and No. 15 Mercy in the past week, No. 2 Lindenwood (14-0) and No. 3 Le Moyne (10-0) join Adelphi as the only other remaining undefeated teams. Lindenwood puts its unblemished mark on the line Saturday with a visit to No. 7 Limestone in one of the marquee match-ups of the week.

West Chester is one of four teams in a logjam at the top of the PSAC standings, all with one loss each.
Florida Tech (+3)
These Panthers moved into the top 10 after handing No. 13 Regis its first loss of the year, 15-13. Tech rallied from a six-goal halftime deficit by outscoring Regis 9-1 in the second half. Sara Grenier led the way with a season-high six goals in the victory.
Mercyhurst (+3)
