JMU women’s lacrosse ranked No. 5 in latest Top 25 poll

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - For a sixth consecutive week, the James Madison lacrosse program secured a top five ranking in the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Top 25 poll.

Ranked No. 5, the Dukes are fresh off a 14-7 win against Rutgers over the weekend. The win marked James Madison’s 15th straight win, a program record.

However, despite the win, Boston College surpassed James Madison in the rankings after the Eagles defeated then No. 1 ranked Syracuse on April 20.

Northwestern is ranked No. 1 followed by Syracuse, Denver, Boston College, and James Madison rounding out the top five.

The Dukes conclude the regular season on April 29 against East Carolina.
