There's a new No. 1-ranked team in the country for men's lacrosse.

In what was one of the biggest games on the weekend slate, Notre Dame beat North Carolina 10-5 in South Bend, Indiana, behind a hat-trick scoring day from Teddy Lally. Goalie Thomas Ricciardelli was a wall in the cage vs. the Tar Heels, netting a season-high 15 saves and holding the Tar Heels to their lowest goal mark of the season.

It's the second straight week that the Fighting Irish have knocked off the then-No. 1-ranked team in the country, a first in NCAA history, after the Fighting Irish upended previously No. 1-ranked Richmond in Evanston, Illinois.

Several other notable top-25 wins took place in Week 10 of the season: No. 14 Ohio State knocking off No. 10 Johns Hopkins by one goal and No. 17 Yale picked up a big-time win over No. 5 Harvard in Ivy League play behind a five-goal day from Cole Cashion.

There, of course, were some upsets in the top 25 as well, like No. 9 Penn State being upset at home by Michigan.

Here are the updated top 25 rankings for men's lacrosse following last week's slate of games from the NCAA's RPI, Inside Lacrosse and United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association:
