Salisbury withstood a significant test from then-No. 10 Mary Washington, 11-10, to remain No. 1 in this week's Nike/US Lacrosse Division III Women's Top 20. Late-season winning streaks by several squads have shuffled parts of the Top 20 as the regular season hits the final stretch.
Then-No. 3 Amherst won its fourth straight game, defeating then-No. 4 Tufts, 14-13, in a matchup that lived up to expectations. York dispatched two more league foes to run its winning streak to five at move up to No. 7, a run matched by No. 11 F&M. W&L has now run off seven wins in a row to improve to 9-4 and return to the Top 10.
Then-No. 8 Geneseo had its 11-0 start ended by an old enemy, falling to then-No. 15 Cortland, 15-10. Rowan has continued educating foes, surging to No. 16 after handling then-No. 13 Stevens, 23-11.
Four of the top five teams face at least one highly ranked opponent this week, perhaps highlighted Friday by the No. 1 Sea Gulls' visit to No. 4 TCNJ.
