2021 IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll – March 29, 2021

 

North Carolina (10-0) remained undefeated and ranked first in the Division I Coaches Poll with 24 of 25 first place votes this week, and the top six teams stayed locked into their spots. Syracuse (6-0) sits in second, Northwestern (8-0) is third, Boston College (7-1) comes in fourth, Notre Dame (5-2) is fifth, and Stony Brook (8-2) stayed in sixth. Virginia (8-2) and Duke (6-4) each moved up a spot in the poll, Maryland (5-2) dropped a spot, and Florida (7-2) moved back into the top ten. Ohio State (3-7) returned to the poll at #19 after a weekend sweep of Penn State (3-5), who dropped to #14.

This week features a rare Top-25 matchup on Monday between #9 Maryland and #3 Northwestern, and the action continues on Wednesday, when #13 Loyola visits #21 Navy. Saturday is the day fans have been waiting for, as top-ranked North Carolina welcomes #2 Syracuse to campus for a showdown for the top spot. Fans can also enjoy watching #8 Duke at Boston College (#4), and #5 Notre Dame at #7 Virginia on Saturday.
