2021 IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll – April 19, 2021
The top 11 teams held their spot in the Division III poll this week, led by Franklin & Marshall (4-0), who received 21 of 25 first place votes. Washington and Lee (10-0), Tufts (3-0), Salisbury (11-0), and Gettysburg (4-0) round out the top five. There was some movement in the poll further down the rankings, and Roanoke (7-2) made its official poll debut at #25 after receiving votes a couple of weeks ago.
There are only a few top-25 matchups this week, and two of them feature #23 Mary Washington, who visits Salisbury (#4) on Tuesday and #22 St. Mary’s on Thursday. Trinity (#18) has two NESCAC games this weekend, Friday at #12 Wesleyan, and against #21 Hamilton on Sunday. On Saturday, the only action between ranked teams is #19 William Smith at #15 Brockport.
