2020 IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll – February 24, 2020

 

North Carolina (4-0) held onto the top spot in the Division I Coaches Poll this week after a convincing 19-6 victory over Maryland (1-2) on Saturday. Notre Dame (4-0) held onto the second spot, while Stony Brook (2-0) moved up to third, Syracuse (4-1) slotted in at number four, and Loyola (3-0) jumped seven spots to land in fifth. Northwestern (3-2), Virginia (4-0), Florida (2-1), Maryland, and Denver (4-0) comprised the back half of the top ten. There were no new entrants in this week’s poll, but there was a lot of shuffling among the teams ranked 11-25.

This week features several games that should impact next week’s poll, starting with #9 Maryland visiting fourth ranked Syracuse on Friday. Stony Brook (#3) travels to #8 Florida, Loyola (#5) squares off against #19 Penn State, and #7 Virginia welcomes top-ranked North Carolina on Saturday, while Stanford (#24) visits #6 Northwestern, and #22 Duke travels to #2 Notre Dame on Sunday.
