Florida Southern Rises to No. 1 in Division II Coaches Poll

NORTHBOROUGH, Mass.— The Florida Southern Mocs climb to the top of the latest Division II Coaches Poll after knocking off then-No. 1 UIndy on Saturday. Florida Southern earned the upset with a 10–9 victory over the Greyhounds.

UIndy shifts to No. 2 following the loss, while Tampa remains steady at No. 3.

Maryville moves up to No. 4 after a strong week that included a 17–9 win over No. 14 Regis (CO) on Friday.

Flagler enters the Top 5 and will soon face a major test with a matchup against Florida Southern on the horizon.

In total, 25 teams are represented in the poll, with voters—college coaches from across the nation—reflecting the latest results across women’s lacrosse. The rankings are based on weekly performances, with the poll set to be released each Monday throughout the season.
