Ranking

With over 50 games played over the past weekend, there has been a ton of movement in the final WCLO National Ranking before seeding for Nationals. The top 8 remain relatively unchanged, Loyola Maryland continues to hold the top spot where they have been affixed all season. Navy holds steady at #2, GVSU claims #3, and High Point and Fairfield round out the Top 5. Beyond the Top 10, we see a ton of realignment. Fordham picks up the biggest movement of the week climbing 6 spots from #16 to #10. Towson, who has been heavily impacted all season long in major swings in the polls, moves back up 4 spots to #9 after being tied for #13 last week. 

This week, we have expanded the poll to include the Top 25 teams which included several ties towards the bottom of our list.

Newcomers to the poll this week include #15 George Washington after pulling off a 16-15 victory over Georgetown. Dartmouth also rejoins the conversation tied at #18 after finishing the regular season 7-1. Salisbury, Tufts, and Marist round out the teams rejoining the poll this week.
