At 12-5 and freshly bumped from #24 to #23, the Bulls are quietly building one of the more respectable résumés in the women's lacrosse rankings. The climb is modest — one slot — but it signals voters are taking notice of a team that keeps handling its business. Five losses on the year is nothing to flinch at in this landscape; what matters is that the Bulls haven't stalled. They're ascending, not flatlining.
This is a team playing with purpose and collecting the kind of wins that earn poll respect the hard way. The trajectory says they believe they belong — and right now, the ranking agrees.
