Last week, undefeated Lindenwood became the new number one team in the Nike/US Lacrosse Division II Women's Top 20 after sitting at number two for most of the season behind Adelphi. The No. 1 Lions survived their first big test as the nation’s top-ranked team, but barely, defeating No. 9 Regis, 13-12, on Friday. Sophie Buelow’s third goal of the game, with 78 seconds remaining, was the game-winner. A re-match could be just around the corner as the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament begins this week, with Lindenwood and Regis holding the top two seeds.
In addition to the RMAC, a number of other conference tournaments featuring ranked teams take center stage this week: the NE-10 Tournament, PSAC Tournament and ECC Tournament.
No. 10 East Stroudsburg, which closed the regular season with a 10-game winning streak, is the top seed for the PSAC Tournament after winning the league’s regular season for the first time in team history. The Warriors (15-2) will serve as host for the PSAC’s final four, beginning Friday.
No. 2 Le Moyne and No. 3 Adelphi are the tops seeds for the eight-team NE-10 Tournament, which begins on campus sites Wednesday. If they survive the quarters and semis, the two powerhouses would meet for the second time this season in Sunday’s championship game.
No. 5 LIU Post and No. 6 NYIT are the favorites in the four-team ECC Tournament. LIU Post earned the top seed and home field for the championship game with a 12-11 overtime win over NYIT last week.
