2021 IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll – April 12, 2021

 

Franklin & Marshall (2-0) held onto the top spot in this week’s Division III Coaches Poll with 23 of 25 first place votes. Washington and Lee (9-0), Tufts (2-0), Salisbury (9-0), and Gettysburg (4-0) round out the top five by staying in the exact same spot as last week. Catholic (6-0), Ithaca (7-0) and Colby (1-1) all moved up one spot after York (7-1) lost to Messiah (11-0) and fell to ninth in the poll. Denison (6-0) has moved into the top ten after starting the season ranked at #20 in the preseason poll. Hamilton College (1-1) entered the poll at #24 after splitting a weekend series with Wesleyan (1-2), who fell to #13.

There are only four games between ranked teams this week: #12 Geneseo visits Brockport (#17) and #4 Salisbury takes on Christopher Newport (T-21) on Wednesday, Salisbury then visits #22 St. Mary’s on Saturday, and #13 Wesleyan travels to Trinity (T-15) on Sunday.
