2024 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – April 8

 

Northwestern returns at the top of the pack in Week 9, while Syracuse and Boston College each moved up a spot into the No. 2 and No. 3 slots, respectively.  

Maryland dropped to No. 4 after falling to Northwestern on Saturday evening in College Park, as Madison Taylor and Izzy Scane each netted six goals and an assist.  

Yale jumped six slots into the No. 10 position, marking the first time the Bulldogs entered the Top 10 this spring. They earned the big leap with a dominant 16-8 win over Penn on Sunday. The Quakers dropped to No. 12 after losses to Yale and Princeton this week.   

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
