In this weeks show, I'm going to talk about why I have Notre Dame, Syracuse & Johns Hopkins sitting atop my poll vote, in that order. Many are going to light me up for it, but after Notre Dame took down Virginia, and North Carolina beat Duke, I can't ignore the fact that Syracuse holds victories in the head-to-head matchups between Hopkins and Duke, the only other teams with RPI's higher than theirs.

Every weekend has brought some chaos to the college lacrosse world, and this weekend was no different. After Boston University took down #1 Army Friday night, Michigan and High Point decided to get in on the upset action with each team scoring late on the way to Michigan upsetting Maryland, and High Point stunning UNC. Princeton, Cornell and Penn all handled their business in Ivy league play.

#6 Syracuse hosted the #4 Duke Blue Devils in the Dome on Wednesday night and came away victors, with a 10-4 statement win. The Orange defense played their best game of the season, and in reality the best defensive game any team has played all year long. They held the Duke attack to just 2 goals and an assist. Will Mark was a monster with 14 saves for the Cuse and Owen Hiltz put up 3 goals in the win.

Syracuse and Johns Hopkins are back near the top of the college lacrosse world, and everything is great when these two teams play in a top-10 matchup. #9 Syracuse defeated #2 Johns Hopkins 14-13 in an instant classic. Maryland needed overtime to take down a very pesky Brown squad. Notre Dame edged Ohio State, Virginia & Duke both pulled away in the second half to pick up wins. It was Penn State beating up on Cornell that was the surprise of the weekend.

Penn needed overtime to take down Delaware in a very exciting matchup, and Denver scored a late goal and outlasted Cornell by the end out west. We'll cover these games in depth, with highlights as well as many others in this weekends college lacrosse recaps.
