Princeton is No. 1 this week, replacing Georgetown at the top of the poll. The Hoyas, who are ranked second this week, were ranked No. 1 before Carolina beat them, 11-10, in Washington D.C., last Sunday. Virginia is No. 3, followed by UNC.
Cornell is No. 5, followed by No. 6 Loyola, No. 7 Duke, No. 8 Vanderbilt, No. 9 Notre Dame and No. 10 Penn State. The other Atlantic Coast Conference team in the poll, Maryland, is ranked No. 13 after falling to 6-6 this season.
Carolina will play two more ranked teams this weekend in its final tuneups before the ACC Tournament, which will be played Apr. 19 and 21 in Durham, N.C.
This weekend, the Tar Heels will host No. 8 Vanderbilt on Friday at 7 p.m. at Fetzer Field before travelling to play at No. 11 James Madison on Sunday at 1 p.m. in Harrisonburg, Va.
