Rutgers men’s lacrosse makes move in latest rankings

Rutgers men’s lacrosse moves up in the latest Inside Lacrosse rankings this week.

After an impressive weekend road win in Big Ten play, Rutgers men’s lacrosse moves up three spots in the latest rankings from Inside Lacrosse.

Rutgers pulled off an impressive 13-12 win at Michigan on Saturday, upping the Scarlet Knights to 11-2 (3-1 Big Ten) on the season. It was a good bounceback for Rutgers, who lost the previous week at Maryland.

With the win, Rutgers moved up three spots and now sits fourth in the nation.

Maryland remains the undisputed top team in the poll. Maryland, Rutgers and No. 11 Ohio State make up the three Big Ten teams in the poll. Johns Hopkins is unranked but receiving votes.

Rutgers is fifth in the nation in the latest RPI update. Maryland, not surprisingly, checks in atop the RPI as well.
