With just one week remaining before the announcement of teams for the 2022 WCLA National Championship Tournament, Boston College Club and Utah Valley maintain their holds on No. 1 in Division I and Division II, respectively.
In Division I, there were just two changes among the top 10, with undefeated Arizona State jumping one spot to fifth and No. 6 Florida falling back one spot. Arizona State captured its first Western Women's Lacrosse League championship last weekend with victories over Cal Poly, Arizona and UCLA.
The biggest move this week belonged to No. 10 Florida State, which jumped four spots and claimed its highest ranking of the season.
No. 18 Washington, which has won five straight and seven of its last eight, was the only newcomer in this week’s Top 20.
In Division II, Utah Valley is in its familiar position at the top of the ranking, but there was some shuffling just behind them.
Loyola Club moved back up to second, while No. 3 UC San Diego dropped back one spot. No. 4 Grand Valley State Club and No. 5 St. Thomas also moved up one spot each.
No. 7 New Hampshire Club, which was one of the biggest jumpers last week, dropped back three spots this week. No. 9 Oakland was among the big climbers, moving up four spots and into the top ten.
No. 16 St. Benedict was the only newcomer in this week’s Division II poll, moving into the ranking for the first time this season.
The WCLA National Championship, to be played May 4-7 in Round Rock, Texas, will feature 16 Division I teams and 16 Division II teams competing over four days to crown their champions.
