While the NCAA Tournament selection committee considered the Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team a top-10 team over the weekend, those rankings were also compiled prior to the results of Saturday’s contest. Syracuse fell to Navy, 13-12 at the buzzer, knocking them down to 7-5 on the year.
That loss does have some repercussions in the polls, as you’d guess. SU fell from the top 10 in the Maverik media poll, dropping from ninth to 12th. However, the Orange maintained that distinction in the Nike/USILA rankings, falling three spots to ninth overall.
