NYC boys lacrosse rankings

The rankings seem to be ever changing.

The topsy-turvy Ivy League has lead to weekly adjustments in this space and this week is no different. Dalton moves up to No. 3 fresh off a win over Riverdale and Poly Prep drops from No. 4 to No. 5 after watching No. 2 Fieldston pull away for a win. Tottenville got past new No. 10 Xaverian in a non-league contest. This week could bring more upheaval as Riverdale visits Fieldston.

Here are the new rankings:

1. Fordham Prep (1-3) (Last week: 1)

The Rams lone win this season came against Iona Prep, but outside a lopsided loss to nationally ranked St. Anthony’s they have been competitive against Long Island foes. Coach Len DeLucia’s club will only get better as Rob Grinnell continues his strong play.

2. Fieldston (3-1) (2)

The Eagles announced they are a team to be reckoned with again in the Ivy League with a 12-6 win over defending NYSAISAA champion Poly Prep. Tanner Morris, who scored four times, is the real deal, but saw his team slip up against Hackley.

Next: No. 4 Riverdale (April 18, 4:15 p.m.)

3. Dalton (2-1) (8)

Don’t look now, but here comes the Tigers. Behind five goals from Ben Vallimaresu, Dalton knocked off Riverdale 7-5. He found the back of the net four more times to lead his team past Trinity by the same score on Monday.

Next: No. 9 Horace Mann (April 18, 4:15 p.m.)

4. Riverdale (3-1) (3)

Next: @ No. 2 Fieldston (April 18, 4:15 p.m.)

5. Poly Prep (2-2) (4)

The Blue Devils and faceoff specialist Jesse Bongiovi weren’t having too many nice days on the lacrosse field without injured starting goalie Dylan Moser. He returned to shutout Horace Mann to his team bounce back from a loss to Fieldston.

Next: @ Hackley (April 16, 4 p.m.)

6. Tottenville (5-0) (5)

7. New Dorp (4-1) (7)

9. St. Joseph by the Sea (0-2) (10)

St. Joseph by the Sea gets credit for putting together a challenging non-league schedule. They fell to East Meadow, St. Mary’s and by a goal to Hempstead last week. Will all those games pay off? We find out this week when the Vikings face Mount St. Michael and New Dorp.
