Your optimism is understandable but only one of those wins is currently in the top 25 (Denver).
https://www.insidelacrosse.com/league/wdi/polls/19
Only beating OSU by 5 goals raises an eyebrow for a top 10 team. Particularly since it was neck and neck for most of the game until it got a little out of hand there at the end. Notre Dame beat OSU by nearly twice as many goals (9), and the Buckeyes were coming off of a 15 goal loss to Maryland (16-1) the week before THE GAME. So by the transitive property vs OSU combined with the fact that the schedule turned out to be a lot softer than it initially appeared, I would speculate that the Wolverines are probably more in the 15-20 range. I'd expect them to go 1-2 vs the three remaining ranked teams on their slate, Hopkins, Maryland and Northwestern, with a blowout loss to the Terps (>10 goals) and splitting a pair of close games (<5 goals) vs the other two.
On the other hand a win is a win, and taking down a rival on the road is nothing to sneeze at. So I have them finishing 15-2 going into the Big Ten Tourney, and then a third loss in that Tourney, which "should" of course be good enough to get them into their first NCAA Tourney. That would no doubt be a pretty good cap to their first winning season in school history.
Big Ten Wlax
I pretty much nailed that one. Michigan had a 5 goal win over Hopkins, an 11 goal loss to Maryland, and a 3 goal loss to Northwestern tonight.
So that locks the Wildcats into the 2 seed behind Maryland, and the Wolverines into the 3 seed. So they will square off again in the Big Ten semifinals.
Penn St was able to steal the 4th and final seed by knocking off Hopkins on the road with a last second goal at the end of regulation. So they get to be blasted by the Terps in the other Big Ten semifinal.
Technically the Wildcats could still win a share of the Big Ten regular season title if Maryland loses to the Blue Jays in their finale a week from Saturday. Even if that happens, Maryland is locked into the 1 seed with a H-H victory over Northwestern, and Penn St would still get the 4 seed due to their H-H win over Hopkins (unless of course the Nittany Lionesses somehow lose to Rutgers as well).

Tough loss to NU today for WLax. Still, wow, what a break through season. This one puts them at 14-2. And to think they'd never previously had a winning season until 2019 - or even beaten a ranked team until knocking off PSU in the finale last year and now in 2019 they've claimed something like a half dozen (or more?) such scalps. Clearly they have the right coach and recruiting. Not sure of their leaders' remaining eligibility but I could see them win a conference championship in the next two years.

Apparently there was a pretty good battle between Ohio State and Maryland in Lacrosse.

W Lacrosse

Rutgers dropped a home game to OSU 11-7, and will occupy the Big Ten cellar for the second season in a row. In fact each of OSU's two Big Ten wins over the last three seasons has been at the expense of the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers will close out their season @ Penn St, while OSU will host Northwestern. Both will get crushed.

Not too many bright spots for OSU these days, the two game win streak vs Rutgers notwithstanding. They did reclaim the State Title from Cincinnati, which is somewhat impressive considering that the Bearcats will play the Gators for the AAC regular season title next Saturday (both teams are otherwise undefeated in AAC play). The Buckeyes also got the Irish back on their schedule this year, after not playing a game against them for the first time in school history in 2018. OSU should have played Kent St in their inaugural wlax season as well, but didn't. Akron bursts onto the scene next year, so maybe they can begin both of those series simultaneously in 2020. The worst part has been losing to the Wolverines for the first, second and third times in school history over these last three seasons.

That's a nice story. Sounds like she's been an excellent influence on her teammates.

Big Ten Lacrosse, Week 4/5

Maryland beats OSU in OT, PSU lays a beat down on Hopkins, and Rutgers defeated the Wolverines.

So Penn St wins at least a share of the regular season title and locks up the one seed in the Big Ten Tourney, while Michigan becomes mathematically eliminated from Big Ten Tournament qualification.

All that remains is rivalry week, with Hopkins @ Maryland, Rutgers @ Penn St, and Ohio State @ Michigan.

The other three seeds vary wildly depending on the outcomes of those games.

Standings
Penn St 4-0
Maryland 3-1
Rutgers and Hopkins 2-2
Ohio State 1-3
Michigan 0-4
