Syracuse jumps 2 spots to No. 1 ranking in Inside Lacrosse poll

Syracuse is the new No. 1 team in the country in the Inside Lacrosse Division I Men’s Media Top 20, released Monday morning.

The Orange, which received 15 first-place votes, jumped two places to the top spot after Sunday’s 15-9 win over then-No. 5 Virginia. Last week’s No. 1 team, Denver, fell 12-10 to North Carolina, opening up a race for the top ranking between SU, Notre Dame and the Tar Heels.

UNC claimed the No. 2 spot with seven first-place votes and the Fighting Irish — with two — dropped one place after downing Dartmouth, 20-5. Denver and Duke round out the rest of the top five.

Syracuse (4-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) will next face St. John’s on Saturday in Kennesaw, Georgia at 1 p.m. in the Cobb County Lacrosse Classic.
