They are having a nice year so far...Hopkins is overrated this year like every year. Big name


Who has Hopkins been rated over "every year"? Excellent school very good lacrosse program. They are one of the Top 20 Programs, they are competitive every year and have been for quite some time.

Michigan will cone to improve as a program and will be a Top 20 Program going forward.


That whole perennial top 20 argument is a joke...there could be 15 teams ranked in the 15-20 range every year...they put Hopkins in because of the name...same alot of the time with uva,nd,gtown and duke...I'm talking about when they have a down year, still thrown in to top 20.


No, there couldn't. The talent does not run that deep. Some teams have a good year from time to time and then there are the same 15 or so programs that prove it on the field every year. Teams that play competitive schedules year in and year out and prove with their body of work that they are a Top Program.


Yes there could, all about the name in girls lax, just except it...what was hopkins ranked after the high point loss? thinking top 20? c'mon


Please name all of the powerhouse programs who should be considered a top 20 program? They are not because of their actual results and body of work, not because of an upset win here or there.

To those who want to look at a teams record as a benchmark to evaluate their ranking... A teams record is not an accurate indicator of a teams strength. A team with a 4 - 4 record with losses to Syracuse, BC, Maryland and Carolina might very well deserve a higher ranking than a team with a 7 - 1 record with wins against Siena, Boston University, Marist, Cornell, Fairfield, Villanova and Colgate.
