Poll results: Men's lacrosse rise to No. 1 was top Rutgers story of March

PISCATAWAY -- At its peak, Rutgers men's lacrosse was No. 1 in the nation -- and No. 1 on its campus.

In a NJ.com poll published Monday, Rutgers fans voted the men's lacrosse team's rise to the top of the national rankings as the top story of a successful March for the athletic department.

With seven options to chose from, it turned out to be a two-horse race between men's lacrosse and the wrestling program's postseason, which included Anthony Ashnault repeating as a Big Ten champion and Ashnault and Ken Theobold earning All-American honors.
