4/25/2016 2:05:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
After a dominating victory over Binghamton on Wednesday, the Syracuse lacrosse team (8-4) remained No. 8 in the NIKE/USILA Coaches Poll, and moved up one spot to No. 7 in the Cascade/Maverik Media Poll heading into this weekend's ACC Tournament.
The Orange, which will be the No. 4 seed in the tournament, is the second-highest ranked team, behind second-seed Notre Dame, which is No. 4 in both polls.
After the Fighting Irish fell to North Carolina, Denver moved up to No. 1 in both polls, headlining the USILA poll with 334 points and 11 first-place votes. Brown, which will also travel to Kennesaw, Georgia this weekend to take part in the ACC/Brown Challenge against Virginia, sits in second with 318 points and five first-place votes.
Maryland ranks third, up two spots this week, holding 306 points and one first-place vote.
Notre Dame (285), Albany (283), Yale (247) and Navy (204) make up the other-four spots ahead of 'Cuse, which owns 186 points in this week's poll.
The top-six is the same in the media poll, with Syracuse behind Denver (553/21 first-place votes), Brown (533/6 first-place votes), Maryland (493/1 first-place vote), Notre Dame (478), Albany (449) and Yale (418). SU has 353 points in the media poll, with Johns Hopkins (324), Navy (321) and North Carolina (310) behind.
The Orange will take on ACC regular season champion, No. 11 North Carolina, on Friday at 6 p.m. in the first ACC Semifinal. The game will be televised on ESPNU.
