Nike/LM Rankings: Movement From Top to Bottom

With Syracuse winning the ACC tournament over the weekend, Duke taking down previous No. 1 Notre Dame in the tournament semifinals and Maryland falling to rival Johns Hopkins on Saturday night, there is significant movement at the top of the Nike/Lacrosse Magazine Top 20.
