USILA Division I Men's Lacrosse Poll

The NCAA tournament bracket has been decided and the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Division I poll mostly followed suit.

Notable exceptions: Virginia, which garnered the top seed, is ranked just No. 5 in this week's poll, whereas seventh-seeded Notre Dame is ranked No. 2.

Among other developments in this week's poll:

* Villanova's tear through the CAA tournament results in a No. 19 ranking this week after the Wildcats did not receive any votes last week.

* Penn State, in hot water after an 0-3 start to the season, won six striaght and nine of its last 11 games -- including a triumph of Georgetown in the regular season finale -- to finish its season ranked No. 16.
