The rankings this week had a large amount of self-contained insanity. Just about every team from last week’s top 5 and last 5 all won, with seemingly everyone in between losing. This meant that I didn’t drop anyone this week, but there was plenty of shuffling. Oh, and the Patriot and Ivy Leagues continue to baffle me. Records and scores are including games from April 5. 1 Maryland Record:…

The Raiders (6-4, 4-2 Patriot) rallief from an early 2-0 hole to score nine of the next 10 goals and lead 9-3 at the break.
