DC Express lost to Stealth in Pinnacle Championship. They are not #4. They are like 10-12.

Get real. Sweetlax won NAL and beat Tigers in the final. Sweetlax is #1. Express not in the conversation for #1.

This is the official ranking: Sweetlax, Tigers, Crabs, Express, Towermen, 91 based off fall results.

BOTC official? US club updated 11/19

Top 10 should be...

1. Sweetlax Upstate
2. Crabs
3. Tigers
4. LI Express
5. Hawks
6. West Coast Stars Gold
7. Stealth FL
8. Igloo
9. Leading Edge
10. DC Express

91 is right in there now.

Doing well in a B tournament this past weekend and previously beating Moose, Express B, and Legacy don't put you in there right now.

6-10 are not close to top 10

You have play other teams first. It’s odd though it seems, and it could be me, some clubs use the fall to be very selective over the match ups and don’t play vs certain teams. And other clubs will play any team. Maybe the brackets break that way or something

I don’t believe 6-10 or maybe 8-10 are top 10 teams. You’re forgetting the competition in other parts of the country.
There are other teams (from CA, TX, CO, NC) who could beat (or have already beaten) some of them and could challenge or beat 1-5 (or 1-7) too.

Well hopefully these teams (from CA, TX, CO, NC) show up to play in the Elite Tournaments this Summer and prove it. Playing subpar teams in B tournaments doesn't get you ranked in the top 10.

All the ranking are completely off. They haven’t included half of the NE tournaments in these rankIng at least for the last two weeks .

Sweetlax has beaten everybody they've played in the last 2 years and has only lost to 2 clubs teams during that time. One loss to the Towermen and wait for it... 7 or 8 losses in a row to LIE. For now, the top 3 teams in the country are LIE, Sweetlax and the Tigers. There are a few teams that may win a game or 2 along the way, but these 3 teams remain the best and most consistent. For all the ranting on BOTC, you'd think most of you would know the 2026 teams that routinely play in all the major championships. Either way, young boys with a lot of lacrosse in front of them. Enjoy the ride!

Thanks same old EXPRESS Dad!
