The unbeaten Tufts Jumbos remain at No. 2 after securing victories over No. 11 Washington and Lee and No. 24 Christopher Newport this past week.

Franklin & Marshall, Gettysburg, and Colby round out the Top 5.

Mary Washington enters the Top 25 following a perfect 3-0 week, which included a win over No. 17 Denison.
