Boys' Lacrosse Rankings 5-4-09

La Salle, winner of 10 straight games, has moved back into the No. 1 spot in the Pennsylvania Lacrosse Media Rankings for boys' teams both in the PIAA and all-schools top 10. 

The 11-3 Explorers, who began the year at the top but dropped three of their first four games, thumped former No. 1 St. Joseph's Prep, 16-6, last week to earn the nod.
 
The PA Media Rankings are chosen by Phillylacrosse.com and six newspapers: The Philadelphia Inquirer, Delaware County Daily Times, Allentown Morning Call, Harrisburg Patriot-News, Lancaster Intelligencer Journal and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
