2020 IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll – March 2, 2020

 

The University of North Carolina (5-0) maintained its grip on the top ranking in the Division I Coaches Poll this week, collecting all 25 first place votes and remaining undefeated. Notre Dame (5-0) checks in at number two, while Syracuse (6-1) moved up to third following their 10-5 win over Maryland (1-3). Loyola (4-0) solidified their standing in the top five with a 22-12 dismantling of Penn State (4-1), followed by Florida (4-1), who upset Stony Brook 12-10, fueling their jump into the top five. Richmond (6-0) entered the top-25 in dramatic fashion, making their debut at #20 after taking down Virginia (4-2) on the road, 13-12.

Action between the top-25 begins early this week, as #5 Florida travels north to face Dartmouth (#15) on Tuesday. Penn State (#21) visits #16 James Madison and #17 Navy heads to College Park to face Maryland (#10) on Wednesday. The weekend begins with Friday’s matchup between #8 USC and #25 Stanford, then continues on Saturday with games between #2 Notre Dame and #18 Boston College, #23 Duke and Virginia (#12), and Penn (#9) and #4 Loyola. On Sunday, Stony Brook (#6) and Princeton (#11) tangle on Long Island and #3 Syracuse faces off with #22 Virginia Tech.
