Penn State men’s and women’s lacrosse both rose in their respective Inside Lacrosse rankings on Monday.

The men jumped back into the top 10, climbing three spots to No. 8. This comes after a dominant performance against No. 14 Ohio State, as the Nittany Lions won 17-9.

The men are currently 6-3 and only have three more games left this season before the Big Ten Tournament begins. As things currently stand, the Nittany Lions don’t face any other ranked opponent for the remainder of the regular season.

The women also jumped up in the poll, moving from No. 18 to No. 17. The move comes after the Nittany Lions beat Cornell 13-10 on Sunday. They are 10-3 this season and also only have three games left in the regular season.

The women play their next game at noon on Saturday, April 8, against Michigan in Ann Arbor, while the men play at 7 p.m. that same day against Johns Hopkins at home. A win for both teams will go a long way in locking down a coveted tournament spot as May rolls around.
