2023 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – February 13

 

North Carolina earned 21 first-place votes after picking up its first win of the season over James Madison, this week's No. 12 team — extending the Heels' win streak to 41 consecutive regular season games.

Maryland and Boston College stayed put in the second and third-place positions after picking up wins against Saint Joseph’s and USC, respectively. The fourth and fifth place slots flipped after Syracuse topped Northwestern in an exciting, early-season Top 5 clash on Saturday. 

Louisville and Vanderbilt earned votes into the No. 24 and No. 25 place slots, as Vanderbilt upset Colorado and Louisville nearly upset No. 10 Denver. 

The ILWomen/IWLCA Poll will be unveiled Mondays throughout the season. It is voted on jointly by coaches throughout the country and members of the media.
