2023 ILWomen/IWLCA Division II Poll – May 30
After earning its program’s first championship, the Pace Setters finished the final ILWomen/IWLCA Division II Poll as No. 1.
The Setters dominated Championship weekend, beating Florida Southern in the semifinals and previously undefeated West Chester in the title game, as the Mocs and Golden Rams finish in the second and third ranks, respectively.
Tampa and Grand Valley round out the top five teams, as Grand Valley’s postseason run boosted them nine spots for the final poll.
The final poll concludes the 2023 ILWomen/IWLCA Division II Poll. The poll is voted on jointly by coaches throughout the country and members of the media.
