2022 ILWomen/IWLCA Division III Poll – May 31
Middlebury is the champion and No. 1 in the final ILWomen/IWLCA Poll.
The Panthers topped Tufts, the No. 2 team in the final poll, 13-5 to win their eighth title. Middlebury finished the season 22-1 and with tremendous significance. It was their third title in the last seven years, and the Panthers have won 10-straight NCAA Tournament games dating to the 2019 season.
After their NESCAC foes, TCNJ, Gettysburg, and Salisbury make up the Top 5. TCNJ rose from No. 7 to No. 3 over the course of the NCAA Tournament.
