#18 Princeton took advantage of a 7-6 overtime win over #15 Harvard, to seize the Crimson’s ranking. The victory was one of two overtime decisions for the Tigers, which also edged out #24 Cal Baptist 11-10 in extra time, and fell to #11 UC Davis 9-8.

Harvard, which also lost 11-10 to #11 UC Davis at its home tournament, dropped into a tie for #17 with Long Beach State.

#23 Cal State Northridge pulled off an 11-10 upset of host #20 Indiana on the final day of the Indiana Classic. As a result, the Matadors, which went 3-1 on the weekend including an 11-10 loss to #15 Wagner, moved up to #20.
