2021 IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll – March 22, 2021

 

Franklin & Marshall (1-0) picked up 19 first-place votes to retain the top spot in this week’s Division III Coaches Poll. Tufts and Washington and Lee (4-0) followed closely behind in the second and third spots, and Salisbury (6-0) leapfrogged Gettysburg (1-0) to climb into fourth, leaving the Bullets at number five. Two new teams entered the poll this week, as Roanoke (3-0) and Christopher Newport (4-2) claimed the final two spots, while Bates College began receiving votes.

There are several Top-25 games scheduled for this week, starting on Wednesday, when Brockport squares off with SUNY Geneseo, Christopher Newport hosts Lynchburg, and St. Mary’s takes on Salisbury. Christopher Newport at Mary Washington on Saturday, and Washington and Lee versus Lynchburg on Sunday are the only top-25 games this weekend.
