2016 IWLCA Division III Poll – May 2, 2016
For the tenth week in a row, SUNY Cortland (16-0) is ranked first in the IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll, sweeping all 20 first place votes. The College of New Jersey, Salisbury, Franklin & Marshall, and Gettysburg are all chasing the Red Dragons as we begin crowning conference champions before NCAA selections on May 8. Top action this week starts with #6 Middlebury vs #8 Amherst and #7 Trinity vs #9 Bates in the NESCAC Tournament. Franklin & Marshall (#4) plays the winner of the Dickinson/Haverford game and #5 Gettysburg taking on Washington College in the Centennial Conference Tournament, which could potentially set up a rematch between F&M and Gettysburg (F&M won the first battle 16-11). We may also see a rematch between #1 Cortland and #14 Brockport in the SUNYAC Tournament.
