The first change to the top five in three weeks came after then #4 Cal defeated #3 UCLA in overtime during the third place match of the Barbara Kalbus Invitational, one of six upsets which occurred on Week 5. The teams swapped spots in the rankings heading into Week 6, with a Sunday rematch in Los Angeles ahead on the slate.
Another shake up in the Top 10 also was the result of action in Irvine, with then #10 Pacific vaulting four spots into sixth with a 12-8 win over then #6 Michigan and a 13-11 victory over #7 UC Irvine. The #6 ranking matches the highest ever for the Tigers, following its May 9, 2018 listing.
The remainder of the Top 10, including the Wolverines and Anteaters, dropped one place to make room for the surging Tigers.
The biggest move of the week came in the teens as San Jose State fell six spots to #19 after a 1-3 showing at the Barbara Kalbus tournament. The Spartans topped #25 San Jose State (10-9 OT), but fell short against #17 UC San Diego (14-8), #17 Long Beach State (8-7 3OT) and #5 Hawaii (13-5).
A shift in the rankings came out of those results as UCSD moved up three spots to #14 and LBSU climbed two positions to #15.
#25 San Diego State ascended three spots to #22 after defeating #21 Cal State Northridge 11-4. The Matadors dropped from #21 to #23 with the loss.
Princeton dropped four positions from #14 to #18 with a loss to then #19 Wagner (11-10) at the Red Fox Invitational. The Seahawks, in turn, climbed four spots into a three-way tie for #15 with the victory in their lone action of the week.
