Lacrosse power rating

 

Sure, it says ratings will begin to make sense when most teams have played five games, but Delaware has, and most have played three or four.

Albany falls to #3 in the power rating, behind Cornell and Princeton. Probably due to #26 strength of schedule. Next up #23 Drexel.

Regardless of whether UA ranks #2 or #3, this power rating is indeed an accomplishment. Although there are only 60-some men's lacrosse teams in Division I, the equivalent rating of #2 would put us close to a ranking in the top 10 teams of the country if it were in men's basketball or in the top 20 for a power ranking of #3.

 

Some of our detractors like to cite the fewer number of teams in this sport, but the current polls certainly paint of picture of great achievement.

 

Go, Danes!
