New season is about to begin and we have the new rankings out from last year. Some interesting things happened at the top this year with the 5 year window causing some teams to slip and others to gain. This is the first year that Goucher has not topped the rankings as Lebanon Valley takes the spot this year with some incredible consistency. We had 6 teams drop from the rankings (City College of NY, Rivier, Depauw, Maine/Presque Isle, Case Western Reserve and Oglethorpe) and only one addition (Blackburn). Enjoy!!
