Maryland is still No. 1, though it continues to be a small gap between the Terps and defending champion Virginia at No. 2.
That will be decided at least by March 19, when the two teams meet in a national championship rematch at Audi Field in Washington, D.C.
The real intrigue in the poll is elsewhere, though, particularly with the Ivy League. Cornell and Princeton continue to rise after beating previously unbeaten teams this weekend. The Big Red are at No. 4, while the Tigers are at 7. Penn stands pat after holding off Penn State’s upset bid.
Yale slipped a spot to No. 14 after a close encounter with UMass. New to the poll this week is Brown. The Bears are at 4-1, held with North Carolina and put up 22 goals in a win over Providence after close wins vs. Villanova and Vermont.
Utah comes in at No. 18 after beating Jacksonville on Sunday evening. That was the highest-ranked win in program history. The Dolphins slipped back to 15.
Boston U (16) and Michigan (13) are teams that continue to rise and remain undefeated.
Rutgers is at No. 3 after holding off Stony Brook.
