And then there were four.
Four teams in the Inside Lacrosse Men’s Division I Media Poll remain unbeaten in Week 3.
They are No. 1 Virginia (3-0), No. 2 Notre Dame (3-0), No. 3 Cornell (2-0) and No. 12 Saint Joseph’s (3-0).
The Cavaliers and Irish picked up particularly impressive wins over the weekend. The Cavalier defense — and the scoring prowess of Payton Cormier — easily dispatched Ohio State in a Top 10 game at the Southwest Florida Shootout in Naples, Fla.
Notre Dame traveled east and nearly doubled up Georgetown.
Cornell put the clamps on Lehigh's offense, and Saint Joseph’s earned a 19-6 win against Providence in what was essentially a perfect game for face-off specialist Zach Cole.
Newcomers to the poll include:
Penn State at No. 17 after toppling Yale
Villanova (which beat Penn State but lost to Yale), at No. 18 after taking down formerly Top 10 Delaware
Duke was the biggest riser in the poll, going up from No. 14 to No. 6 after beating Penn. Rutgers moved up five spots after beating Loyola.
