Final Men's Lacrosse Rankings: QU #18, FU Not Ranked

[mattygstag]

In the final 2016 Cascade/Maverik Division I Men's Lacrosse Media Top 20 Rankings, Quinnipiac is ranked #18 nationally and Fairfield is not ranked. I know Fairfield probably has a better team but many who see these rankings will unfortunately perceive the opposite.

This is frustrating to see. However, I think the lacrosse world and more importantly recruits understand that the pollsters were rewarding Quinnipiac and Hartford for winning their conference tournament and playing in the NCAA Tournament.
