D-I Men’s Division Discussion
- Despite both Wisconsin and UBC competing at Stanford Invite, along with UC Santa Cruz, all three teams just about bullseye’d how the ranking projected them. Thus there is no movement in this division.

D-III Men’s Division Discussion
- Ave Maria did a lot of good work at Tally Classic, ultimately winning the tournmanent. But along the way, they took universe to Auburn and Florida, both of whom are having scuffling seasons despite being historically strong programs.
- Colorado College are big winners from the weekend. Wasabi went 5-1 at Centex, reaching the final where they lost to Utah Valley, with all but one of their wins coming by 5 or more goals.
- Santa Clara is one of the D-III’s newest programs and has made a strong impression. While their record was a measly 2-4 at Stanford Invite, they faced some strong D-I competition from Tulane, Stanford, and Colorado State, all of whom project to push as spoilers during the postseason. Their best win also came 11-8 over Whitman.
