Weekly Rankings

A pair of quick notes before I get started: first, I’m in the midst of finals weeks, so posting might be a bit few and far between here for the next couple of weeks. Second, I’m keeping Merrimack at #1 because I don’t think that having the most recent loss doesn’t mean you’re not still the best team.
