The Confidential’s ACC Lacrosse Rankings:
1. Virginia (8-1). Losing to the #2 team in overtime is hardly worth dropping Virginia over.
2. Duke (8-3). Duke just keeps on winning. They face a struggling Syracuse team on Sunday.
3. North Carolina (7-3). With a win over Maryland and more wins, North Carolina gets the edge.
4. Maryland (5-2). With a win over North Carolina, Maryland would be #2. Instead? #4.
5. Syracuse (6-3). Syracuse has not looked good when winning and played poorly in losing.
