Just a couple of weeks into the MIAA lacrosse season, the circle of true playoff contenders is getting smaller. The top teams are McDonogh, Boys' Latin and Calvert Hall, and any of these three could stand alone as the No. 1 squad. For now, McDonogh and coach Andy Hilgartner hold the top spot.
Loyola coach Ben Rubeor helped lead the Dons to a 2-0 week, squeaking out two overtime wins. Coach Brooks Matthews' Gilman squad is proving to be a tough matchup, and St. Mary's and Severn both dropped OT thrillers to Loyola.
Howard and Westminster fought it out for the final spot in this week's rankings, and Westminster's win against DeMatha April 3 gave the Owls the edge.
