MBSLA Mid-Season Top 10

Now that over half the 2011 MBSLA lacrosse season has played out, how does the present top10 compare to our pre-season predictions?  Looking at this years clear #1 team, it looks like we nailed Delano making a big jump up the standings in 2011.  Although we're not sure we realized just how good they'd be in 2011 after big wins over both last years state champion (St. Louis Park) and runner-up (Orono).  Here's a look at our mid-season top 10 along with MNLaxHub's top 5 and honorable mention.

MBSLA Mid-Season Top 10:

1.  Delano (6-0) - Big wins over St. Louis Park and Orono and the Grand Rapids Tournament title

2.  Orono (6-1) - Solid wins over Hastings and St. Paul

3.  St. Louis Park (8-2) - Close loss to Delano, should see how good they are in upcoming games against Orono and MontiQuois

4.  MontiQuois (3-2) - Solid win against St. Paul, puzzling loss to Mankato

5.  St. Paul (3-3) - Losses to three good teams - Delano, Orono and MontiQuois

6.  Duluth (4-2) - Tough OT loss to St. Cloud North followed by solid 7-0 win over the Knights at the grand Rapids tourney

7.  St. Cloud North (3-2) - Big overtime conference win over Duluth may put the Knights in the North drivers seat

8.  Hastings (4-2) - Best win an 8-4 victory over Shakopee

9.  Brainerd (3-3) -  Brainerd's win over White Bear Lake gives them the edge over Tartan

10. Shattuck-St. Mary's (2-0) - They can't participate in the playoffs, but they did beat last years state champion

Honorable Mention:  Tartan (3-2) and Hudson (4-3)
