2017 IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll – April 3, 2017

 

For the second week in a row, the IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll features a new number one: Franklin & Marshall (8-1) collected ten first place votes to land at the top of Division III. The College of New Jersey (5-1), who lost to Middlebury and beat Gettysburg last week, lands in second place after collecting eight first-place votes. Washington and Lee (9-1) collected two first-place votes and claims the third spot, while Middlebury (7-2) and Gettysburg (8-2) round out the top five. Trinity, York, Bowdoin, and Cortland maintain their rankings in the six through nine positions, while Ithaca jumps a spot to land in the top ten. In the bottom half of the poll, Muhlenburg (7-1) makes its 2017 poll debut at #20 after beating Gettysburg, last week’s number one team.

This week’s top twenty action kicks off with Stevens (RV) visiting #2 TCNJ, William Smith (#14) hosting #10 Ithaca, and York (#7) welcoming Catholic (#11) on Tuesday. Top-ranked F&M hosts #5 Gettysburg, and #15 Hamilton tangles with #4 Middlebury on Wednesday, while the weekend’s action includes #19 Colby at Amherst (RV), and #11 Catholic at #16 Mary Washington.
