2019 IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll – April 22, 2019

 

Washington and Lee (13-2) is enjoying its third week at the top of the Division III Coaches Poll, grabbing 19 first-place votes to beat out second ranked Gettysburg (13-1). Middlebury (13-1), Franklin & Marshall (12-3) and Tufts (13-1) all held their rankings to complete the top five this week. Salisbury (14-2) stayed put at sixth, while Wesleyan (12-2) and York (11-5) moved up to the seventh and eighth position, respectively. Mary Washington (13-3) dropped to the ninth spot, and Catholic (11-4) held at number ten. The remainder of the poll was largely static with some minor jockeying, and the only new entrant this week was SUNY Geneseo (11-4), who debuted at #24 to drop Brockport from the poll.

There are several notable top-25 games this week, beginning on Wednesday, when #16 Trinity travels to #11 Amherst, #23 Bates faces Colby (#T-14) on the road, #22 Dickinson hosts #4 Franklin & Marshall, and #13 Bowdoin travels to #5 Tufts. Saturday’s games include #25 Washington College at #2 Gettysburg and the quarterfinals of the NESCAC tournament, which could include a few top-25 battles.
