2024 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – March 11

 

While there was significant movement in the Top 10 again, No. 1 Northwestern stayed put in the top slot, earning all 25 votes. No. 6 Michigan is the only other team in the Top 10 that didn’t see a shift in ranking.  

The Boston College Eagles bumped into the second slot after picking up two wins, while Maryland jumped six spots to No. 3, coming off a big win over No. 4 James Madison, where Emily Sterling made 14 saves.  

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.
