Following the coaches’ poll release each week, the IWLCA will conduct a “Fan Poll” on Twitter, giving everyone the opportunity to weigh in on the order of the top four teams. The Division I Fan Poll on Twitter (@IWLCA), will be posted on Tuesdays at noon, EST, and voting will remain open for 24 hours.
The next IWLCA Division I Weekly Poll will be released on February 8, 2016
