After defeating its second top-10 opponent this season, Albany moved up to No. 2 nationally in the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse (USILA) coaches’ poll, the highest ranking in the program’s history, and sixth in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse media poll. The Great Danes, who are off to their best start as a Division I program with a 3-0 record, upended Delaware , 13-7, last Saturday.
Albany climbed two spots in the USILA rankings and advanced three positions in the media poll. UMBC and Stony Brook are also ranked 19th and 20th, respectively, in the media poll.
Cornell (4-0) is the top-ranked team in both national polls.
The Great Danes are home on Tuesday against Massachusetts, last year’s national runner-up. Albany travels to No. 19 Drexel on Saturday, March 17.
