The University of Maryland and Adelphi University, the Division I and II National Champions in 2015, hold the top position in the IWLCA weekly coaches polls for the week of February 22. Maryland is currently 2-0 in 2016 with wins over William & Mary and Georgetown, while the Panthers topped Grand Valley State University 16-6 in their season opener on February 20.
The IWLCA Communications committee, which oversees the coaches’ polls, has added a new feature for the 2016 season. 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; the Division II Fan Poll on Twitter (@IWLCA), will be posted on Wednesdays at noon, EST; and the Division III Fan Poll on Twitter (@IWLCA), will be posted on Thursdays at noon, EST. Voting for each fan poll will remain open for 24 hours.
The next IWLCA Weekly Poll will be released on February 29 for all three divisions.
