The cream is solidifying itself at the top of the New England Lacrosse Journal top 10, as the class of the region was mostly victorious this past weekend.
The region’s two programs out of Fairfield, Conn. – Fairfield and Sacred Heart – are also surging as the heat of conference play nears.
There figures to be more movement coming up with Harvard and Boston University set for a Nickerson Field clash Tuesday night. Another matchup to keep an eye out for is UMass vs. Brown on Saturday afternoon.
A pair of breakthrough performances are included in the Players of the Week segment, while a familiar face makes another defensive stand. There are also three newcomers to the top 10.
