2023 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – May 1
Northwestern stayed locked in the No. 1 spot, while the rest of the Top 5 had some significant movement in the wake of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Tournament results.
Boston College topped North Carolina, 11-9, in the championship game on Sunday afternoon, as the Eagles won the program’s first ACC Championship title.
Syracuse fell to North Carolina in the ACC Semifinals, falling to No. 4 as a result, while Denver —which won the Big East regular season — dropped two spots into the fifth position by no fault of its own.
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.
