HOT
Illinois Wesleyan (+4)
In a matchup between two top-15 teams, Illinois Wesleyan doubled up Colorado College with a 14-7 win. Colorado College was the highest ranked team that Illinois Wesleyan has beaten in program history. The Titans then survived a quick scare in their second game of the weekend in a comeback win against Rhodes.
Christopher Newport (no change)
Christopher Newport was shot out of a cannon in its season opener, scoring 22 goals. Fifth-year attackman Dylan Rice set a program record with eight goals, and he did so on just 10 shots. He also notched two assists, which tied his own program record for points in a game (10).
The Captains also peppered Roanoke with 72 total shots, another program record. Simply put, there was no shortage of offense for a team that has lofty aspirations in 2022.
IN
Grove City (No. 20)
Grove City got off to an excellent start with a win against Rhodes and a dominating performance against Colorado College. They jump into the top 20 and have next week off before heading on the road to face Baldwin Wallace, followed by another road contest against Christopher Newport.
OUT
Colorado College (was No. 7)
Two losses to open the season pushed Colorado College out of the top 20 despite opening the season as a top-10 team. After losing Saturday, things didn’t get much better for the Tigers, who surrendered 22 goals Sunday. Colorado College has been outscored 36-21 thus far.
The schedule doesn’t get any easier, either. Stevens, Salisbury, Cabrini and Christopher Newport remain in the weeks ahead.
