Stony Brook's 10-6 victory over Colorado on Friday night leaves No. 1 Maryland as the only undefeated team in the country. The Terps solidified their grasp on the top spot with a midweek win over Florida, while the bottom 10 in the rankings is starting to resemble a plate of spaghetti with all of the intermingled wins and losses.

HOT
Maryland (+0)
You can't move any higher than No. 1, but the Terps dominated No. 3 Florida 18-8 on Wednesday. At this point, even a loss might not move Maryland from the top spot.
Stony Brook (+4)
No Courtney Murphy, no problem. The Seawolves keep rolling without their 100-goal scorer, this time handing previous No. 4 Colorado its first loss of the season. Stony Brook followed that up with a seven-goal win over its top America East rival, Albany.
Boston College (+4)
The Eagles have won four of their last five games, with only a two-goal loss to No. 2 North Carolina mixed in. On Saturday, BC routed Virginia 17-10 with recently returned hockey star Kenzie Kent pouring in eight points (3g, 5a).
NOT
Towson (-5)
CAA play started off rough for the Tigers. Towson's four-game winning streak ended with a 9-5 loss to a James Madison team that had lost four of its previous five games.
NEW
Louisville
The Cardinals picked up a big road win, knocking off Virginia Tech 13-12 in overtime, and have been competitive against everyone on their schedule.
OUT
Virginia Tech
The Hokies just miss out despite their earlier victory over Boston College. Head-to-head losses to three of the teams near the bottom of the rankings (Elon, James Madison and Louisville) don't help their case.
