For the first time this season, there’s a new team at the top of the Nike / US Lacrosse Division II Women’s Top 20.
With a 12-9 win over former No. 1 Lindenwood in Sunday’s GLVC championship game, Indianapolis has claimed the top spot in the ranking for the first time in the poll’s history. The Greyhounds avenged their only loss of the season, 10 days ago at Lindenwood, by scoring the first four goals of the second half to seize control in Sunday’s GLVC final.

In a rare regular-season matchup of 1-v-2, Lindenwood tightened its grip on the top spot in the Nike / US Lacrosse Division II Women’s Top 20 by defeating Indianapolis 12-10 last Thursday. Six goals from Emma Arnold and four from Lexy Biller helped the Lions hold off then-No. 2 UIndy. A rematch is likely looming this week, as these two teams begin play as the top two seeds in the inaugural GLVC championship tournament.
There are a few other conference tournaments that are also set to begin, including the NE10 tournament and the PSAC tournament. No. 2 Le Moyne is the clear favorite in the NE10, while the PSAC event features three members of this week’s top 10 No. 4 West Chester, No. 7 East Stroudsburg and No. 8 Seton Hill. The undefeated Griffins were one of the big climbers in this week’s Top 20, as they join the top 10 for the first time this year.
