2016 IWLCA Division III Poll – February 29, 2016
Defending national champion SUNY Cortland starts the regular season atop the IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll, after collecting all 20 first place votes. More than half the Division III teams have yet to compete, but among the top five, Franklin & Marshall (#3) opened strong with wins over York and Washington & Lee, and TCNJ (#5) won their opener over Fredonia. A pair of NESCAC schools, Trinity (CT) and Middlebury, complete the top five.
