Dramatic National Title Leaves Tampa No. 1 in Final D-II Men's Top 20

A déjà vu moment went Tampa’s way in the Division II NCAA championship game, with the Spartans flipping the script on Adelphi by winning a title in overtime. As such, Tampa is No. 1 in the final USA Lacrosse Division II Men’s Top 20, presented by CWENCH Hydration, of 2026.

Tommy Ortega nailed the winner in extra time to give Tampa its second men’s lacrosse national title, halting Adelphi’s bid for a third-straight championship. Naturally, Adelphi falls in line at No. 2 in this final ranking.

Saint Anselm, which only suffered three losses this season — all to Northeast 10 foes — are No. 3. Anderson, a final four team, is No. 4, and Wingate is No. 5.
