Week 8 Rankings
The last week of the 2025 regular season capped off what has been the most exciting season in WCLO history. Throughout the past 8 weeks we have had three different first place teams with nine different teams seeing the Top 5 throughout the season. University of New Hampshire hangs on to the number one spot this week with Vermont and Loyola-Maryland also receiving votes. The Catamounts and Hounds sit tied for 2nd with Fairfield only a hanful of points behind them at 4th. The US Naval Academy rounds out the Top 5.
Air Force moves up 8 spots after traveling to the University of St. Thomas over the weekend and securing close wins over Grand Valley State and St. Thomas.
It's never too late to be recognized, which rings especially true for New York University and Dartmouth who both enter the poll for the first time this season. New York University shut out The College of New Jersey over the weekend 17-0 bringing them to 6-2 on the season. Their two losses only coming at the beginning of the season to National Runner-ups, Fairfield, and national tournament attendees, Fordham. Dartmouth enters in similar fashion with some early cancelled games due to weather and a slow start to the season. Over the weekend they picked up a victory over WPI and had close losses to #1 New Hampshire and #19 Tufts.
