SPARKS, Md. — Le Moyne enters the 2022 season the same way it ended last year — on top of the Division II men’s lacrosse world. The Dolphins have a firm grasp on the top spot in the Nike/USA Lacrosse Division II Men’s Preseason Top 20 entering this season and look every part the favorites to take home the national title come May.
Lenoir-Rhyne brings a wealth of talent back to Hickory, N.C. and is poised to lead the South Atlantic Conference again in 2022.
Outside of the Dolphins, the field of potential final four teams continues to widen, with names like Wingate, Tampa, Mercy, Mercyhurst, Indianapolis and others feeling they have a legitimate shot at playing on Memorial Day Weekend.
