2024 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – March 4

 

Northwestern reclaimed its No. 1 ranking in Week 4 after topping previous No. 1 Boston College last Thursday, 14-11. The Wildcats earned 15 first-place votes, while No. 2 James Madison and No. 6 Michigan earned nine and one, respectively.  

James Madison stayed put in the second slot while Boston College, Notre Dame and Syracuse round out the Top 5.  

No. 24 Harvard entered the Top 25 for the first time this season after an exciting 18-17 win over No. 25 Brown.  

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