2019 IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll – April 1, 2019

 

Gettysburg College (9-0) cruised to the number one ranking in the Division III Coaches Poll again this week, with all 25 first-place votes. Washington and Lee (9-2) remained locked in the second spot, but the rest of top ten showed movement. Middlebury (7-1) moved up to the third spot, followed Salisbury (9-2) and Mary Washington (9-2). Tufts (8-0), the only other unbeaten team in the top ten, moved up to sixth, Franklin & Marshall (7-3) dropped to seventh, York stayed put at number eight, Wesleyan (8-1) jumped to ninth, and Catholic (7-2) remained at ten. The biggest mover in the poll this week was Bowdoin (4-4), who jumped from #18 to #14 after they beat Trinity (6-2) by a 17-15 score, knocking the Bantams to the #13 position. Hamilton (4-4) and Washington College (7-2) are the only new entrants to this week’s poll, landing at 24 and 25 after not being ranked last week.

Top-25 action heats up on Wednesday when #21 Bates hosts Bowdoin (#14), Franklin & Marshall (#7) hosts #1 Gettysburg, Amherst (#T-11) visits #9 Wesleyan, and #10 Catholic faces #8 York, followed by #16 St. John Fisher at #17 Cortland on Thursday. The weekend features several top teams in action, including #3 Middlebury at Colby (#T-11), #24 Hamilton at #13 Trinity, #9 Wesleyan at #6 Tufts, and St. Mary’s (RV) at York.
