The Confidential’s ACC Lacrosse Rankings:
1. Duke (11-3). After a tough start, Duke has rebounded and dominated Virginia.
2. Virginia (10-2). After a great start, Virginia is fading a bit. Collapsed against Duke.
3. North Carolina (9-4). With a win over Maryland and more wins, North Carolina gets the edge.
4. Maryland (7-3). Maryland has an extra few games to show it deserves an upgrade.
5. Syracuse (7-5). Too many losses. And not enough impressive wins.
