The biggest drop in the rankings was by Duke, who last week was seated at the number three spot. We also saw Penn State drop out of the top 10, but who will take…

Siena’s lacrosse program is truly making strides in 2014. They are faced with a noticeably tougher schedule and are performing up to par. Contrarily, the Red Storm have a season that’s quite tame. They commenced their season with two quick wins, but shortly followed those with a loss to Yale last weekend. If St John’s offense can create more opportunities, size up with opponents, and show more pressure…
