With few matchups between the best teams in Eastern Massachusetts this past week, there has been little movement in the Globe's boys' lacrosse Top 20.

Walpole made the biggest jump this week, going from No. 18 to No. 12 after battling to a one-goal loss against No. 7 Needham.

St. John’s Prep has re-entered the top 20 for the first time since late April. Last year’s Division 1 champions got off to a rough start after struggling to replace key seniors, but they seem to have righted the ship. The Eagles played well against No. 8 BC High in a 12-10 loss Tuesday, and took a strong 15-9 win against Lincoln-Sudbury Saturday. They are ranked No. 20.

Newton North is out of the top 20 after a three-game skid, taking losses against No. 14 Framingham, No. 18, Natick and unranked Brookline.
