The Confidential’s ACC Lacrosse Rankings:
1. Virginia (6-0). Virginia has been simply dominant this year.
2. Syracuse (2-1). Syracuse tested Virginia for a significant time, before ultimately falling.
3. Maryland (3-1). Despite the loss to UMBC, Maryland did beat Duke in a conference matchup.
4. North Carolina (4-2). North Carolina’s losses to Lehigh and Penn were disappointments.
5. Duke (3-2). No shame in losing to Maryland. But that’s two losses now for Duke.
