Penn falls to 6th in IWLCA Division I poll despite win

February 24, 2009 by lfrankenfield Leave a Comment

Phillylacrosse.com, Posted 2/24/09

    The Northwestern Wildcats, the four-time reigning national champions, sit in the top spot of the IWLCA poll for the third consecutive week. The squad from Evanston, Ill. garnered all 20 first-place votes for the second straight week, followed by Duke, Syracuse, and Virginia. The Orange closed some of the distance between themselves and the Blue Devils, coming in three votes behind their fellow NCAA semifinalists from 2008.

   While the same 20 schools remained in the poll for the third consecutive week, there was some shuffling. Maryland rose to a season-high No. 5 as the Terrapins switched places with Penn, and Johns Hopkins from the ALC was the fastest riser, moving up two spots to No. 13. Georgetown, Vanderbilt, and Stanford also each improved one position from last week’s poll.

      The ACC and the Ivy League are again the only two conferences that claim four schools in the top-20. The four ACC representatives all rank in the top-10, including three in the top-five as Duke (No. 2), Virginia (No. 4), and Maryland (No. 5) lead the way followed by No. 9 North Carolina. Penn leads the four teams in the Ivy at No. 6, with Princeton also in the top-10 at No. 8. Dartmouth (No. 15) and Cornell (No. 17) remain in the top-20.
