2016 IWLCA Division I Poll – May 2, 2016

The IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll continues to feature Maryland (16-0) as the top-ranked team, with Florida, North Carolina, Syracuse, and Southern California rounding out the top five. North Carolina and USC took home conference titles last week, locking up the ACC and MPSF automatic qualifiers in dramatic fashion. The Tar Heels took down #4 Syracuse 15-14 in overtime, while the Trojans topped #9 Stanford, 8-5, and stayed undefeated at 19-0. This weekend’s slate of conference tournaments will impact the NCAA tournament selections, with several automatic bids on the line, as well as opportunities to make the case for an at-large bid. #1 Maryland will face the winner of the Rutgers game against Ohio State (#19 T) in the Big Ten Tournament, while #10 Penn State awaits the victor of the Michigan versus #15 Northwestern game. In Big East tournament action, #2 Florida will face Georgetown, while #7 Stony Brook hosts the America East Championship and faces a possible rematch with Albany in the title game. #12 Penn is set to host the Ivy League Championship this weekend, and if they get by Harvard in the semi-finals, they will face the winner of the game between #18 Cornell and #13 Princeton.
