2020 IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll – January 27, 2020

 

The 2020 season kicks off the same way it ended, with 2019 National Champion Middlebury Panthers sitting atop the preseason IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll. The Panthers grabbed all twenty-five first place votes to put them ahead of Tufts, Salisbury, Gettysburg, and Wesleyan. The teams ranked in the sixth through tenth position all finished the 2019 season at the exact same rank. The NESCAC landed a total of seven teams in the top-25 poll, the most of any conference. Middlebury opens the 2020 season on February 29, when they host #14 Bowdoin College.
