Syracuse jumped three spots in this week’s Inside Lacrosse poll, moving from No. 4 to No. 1 after winning the Atlantic Coast Conference title on Sunday. The Orange garnered 23-of-24 first-place votes.

This weekend, SU knocked off then-No. 2 North Carolina, 9-8, and then-No. 6 Duke, 15-14. Then-No. 1 Notre Dame, which slid one spot to No. 2 and received the other first-place vote, lost to the Blue Devils in the other ACC tournament semifinal on Friday night. Then-No. 2 Maryland, which was tied with UNC for the country’s second spot, fell to Johns Hopkins by three goals on Saturday.

Rounding out the Top 10 are the UND, Denver, UNC, Duke, Maryland, Albany, Virginia, Brown and Cornell.

Syracuse will next face Colgate on Saturday, which rose five spots to No. 13 in the poll after winning the Patriot League crown.
