Wolverines Vault to Number 1
Ann Arbor, Mich. - After opening the season with a 7-0 record and
coming off a win over D-III Wooster, the University of Michigan Mens
Lacrosse team has propelled to the #1 spot in this weeks MCLA Division
A Top-25 Poll. The Wolverines jumped from the #3 position, leap-frogging
#2 BYU and #3 Oregon and earning 20 of a possible 40 first-place votes.
The Shamrock Lacrosse MCLA Division A Top-25 poll can be found at
www.collegelax.us under the polls link.
Last weekend Michigan defeated Wooster College, while former #1 and
current #3 Oregon lost one-goal matches to #5 Colorado and #11 Arizona
State (the Wolverines next opponent). #2 BYU is coming off a win vs.
Illinois.
The Wolverines are enjoying their third trip to the top of the polls.
Last season Michigan earned a #1 spot after rattling off 10 wins in a
row late in the season, including five over ranked opponents. Before
that, Michigan found themselves in the top spot in 2001 as they headed
into the USL-MDIA National Championship Tournament. Michigan will look
to hold on to their #1 ranking when they battle #11 Arizona State this
Saturday (March 31) at 7:30pm EST at Oosterbaan Fieldhouse in Ann Arbor,
