2024 ILWomen/IWLCA Division III Poll – May 6
In the final week of the regular season polls, the undefeated Middlebury Panthers secured 17 first-place votes and remain the division leaders after winning its second-straight NESCAC Championship and 12th overall title. The Panthers kept the No. 1 ranking for the entire 2024 season and received an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, which begins later this week.
Despite falling short in the NESCAC final, Wesleyan has shifted up in the rankings, landing in the No. 2 spot in the final regular season poll.
Franklin & Marshall, Tufts, and Salisbury round out the Top 5. Notably, Ithaca climbs to the No. 8 position after a thrilling 11-10 overtime victory over No. 7 William Smith to secure the Liberty League Championship.
The final ILWomen/IWLCA Division III Poll will be released on Tuesday, May 28 at the conclusion of the NCAA Tournament. It is voted jointly by coaches throughout the country and members of the media.
