Northwestern stayed locked in the No. 1 spot while the rest of the Top 5 had some significant movement in the wake of the ACC Tournament results.

Boston College topped North Carolina, 11-9, in the championship game on Sunday afternoon, as the Eagles won the program’s first ACC Championship title.

Syracuse fell to North Carolina in the ACC Semifinals, dropping to No. 4 as a result while Denver — which won the Big East regular season — dropped two spots to No. 5 — by no fault of its own.
