Notre Dame (6-0) held steady at number two, while Loyola (5-0) continued ascending, landing at #3 after taking down #9 Penn 19-15 last weekend. Syracuse (7-1) and Stony Brook (4-1) round out the top five. Dartmouth (5-0) and Duke (5-3) were this week’s big movers, as they each jumped five spots to land at numbers 10 and 18 respectively.
