2019 IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll – April 15, 2019
Washington and Lee (11-2) remained on top of the Division III Coaches Poll for the second week in a row, collecting 13 first-place votes, just edging out second ranked Gettysburg (11-1). Middlebury (12-1) and Franklin & Marshall (10-3) stayed put at three and four, while Tufts (12-0) moved into the top five for the first time this season. Salisbury (12-2), Mary Washington (12-2), Wesleyan (11-2), York (10-4), and Catholic (10-3) round out the top ten with only a minor reshuffling of spots from last week’s poll. Brockport (11-1) claimed the final spot in the poll after receiving votes last week.
This week’s top-25 action kicks off on Tuesday when #5 Tufts visits #22 Bates, and Catholic (#10) heads to #7 Mary Washington and continues on Wednesday when Dickinson (#23) travels to second-ranked Gettysburg, #15 William Smith faces Hamilton (RV), and #9 York hosts #6 Salisbury. Unbeaten Colorado College (#21) travels east to take on the College of New Jersey (#17) on Thursday, and Saturday’s games include Bates at #11 Amherst, Williams (RV) at #14 Bowdoin, #12 Trinity at #16 Colby, Wesleyan (#8) at Hamilton, York at Mary Washington, Tufts at #3 Middlebury, and #4 Franklin & Marshall at Washington College (#24).
