Defending champion Le Moyne and RMAC frontrunner Regis are the last two undefeated teams in the nation and hold the top two slots in this week’s Nike/US Lacrosse Division II Women's Top 20.
No. 1 Le Moyne has been consistently dominant all season and improved to 13-0 with two easy NE10 wins last week. The Dolphins are now riding a 20-game winning streak dating back to last year.
No. 2 Regis moved up one place after claiming one of the most significant wins of the year, besting RMAC rival Lindenwood 11-5 and knocking the Lions from the ranks of the unbeaten. Regis outscored host Lindenwood 8-2 in the second half, including seven straight goals at one point to seize control.
Adelphi, Rollins, and Lindenwood round out the top five.
Previously undefeated St. Leo, which had a school-record 13-game winning streak, suffered back-to-back losses and dropped out of the top 10.
West Chester and UIndy both made sizeable moves upward and returned to the top 10 this week, while Queens (N.C.) joined the top 10 for the first time in 2019 by extending its winning streak to 10 games.
The NCAA’s first regional ranking of the season will be released Wednesday.
