Hopkins Hops into Top 10 of USA Lacrosse Division I Women's Top 20

The top six in the USA Lacrosse Division I Women's Top 20, presented by CWENCH Hydration, are holding steady since last week. For the first time all season, things are quiet at the top.

There's movement below. Michigan jumped three spots to No. 7, and Johns Hopkins is a big mover up to No. 8 after downing Stony Brook 13-11. Stony Brook maintained its top-10 standing, though, after beginning the weekend with an overtime win over Denver.

Duke (No. 19) and Virginia (No. 20) are notable additions to the Top 20 this week. Duke toppled Boston College and lost by just one to No. 2 Stanford, and Virginia has turned its season around after an 0-3 start.
