HOT
Queens (N.C.) (+4)
The Royals are 6-1 on the season with victories over Mount Olive and Belmont Abbey. The lone loss so far? A one-goal decision to the No. 2 Limestone Saints. This team has proven it can play with anyone in the top 20.
Wingate (+3)
The Bulldogs, too, are 6-1 this season — but the loss comes to Mercyhurst. Five straight wins, including one over newly ranked Rollins, will push Wingate to No. 13 in this week’s rankings.
NOT
Lynn (-6)
The Fighting Knights have lost two of four games since dominating NYIT to start the season. Colorado Mesa and Florida Southern have taken down Lynn — and North Greenville almost did the same before falling in overtime. Belmont Abbey and Rollins await in the coming weeks for this Lynn team.
Saint Anselm (-3)
Saint Anselm has lost its first two games to LIU Post and Adelphi. On the surface, they are losses to two quality teams. However, the -15 goal differential is a concern. Plenty of time to right the ship.
NEW
Rollins
Five straight wins put the Tars into the rankings for this week. In the process, Rollins took down Colorado Mesa, a team that sat at No. 19 in last week’s rankings. A tough stretch awaits, with Florida Tech and Lynn in the next two weekends.
Assumption
The Greyhounds have had a tough schedule so far this season, but a win over Tampa is the highlight. Another test is coming up with Le Moyne on March 27, and Assumption could have a three-game win streak by then.
OUT
Colorado Mesa
In a rankings toss-up game, Mesa fell to Rollins 12-8 to continue with its trend of win-loss-win that has taken up the season. Now with losses to Lindenwood, Whittier and Rollins, Colorado Mesa falls out.
Rockhurst
A 13-goal loss is not a good result for a team that hopes to compete with the top teams in Division II. Rockhurst is now 0-2 against ranked teams in 2019, although the other loss came in overtime to Belmont Abbey.
