2024 ILWomen/IWLCA Division III Poll – May 28
The Middlebury Panthers capped off the 2024 season by securing all 15 first-place votes and once again emerging as the NCAA Division III National Champions. This victory marks their third consecutive national tournament win and the sixth under head coach Kate Livesay. Impressively, the Panthers maintained an unbeaten streak, finishing the season with a flawless 23-0 record, replicating their undefeated success from the previous season.
As this year's National Runners-Up, Salisbury finishes the season ranked No. 2, climbing three spots from its position prior to the national tournament. The Sea Gulls claimed the conference title for the seventh straight season before reaching the Division III Championship game for the 10th time in program history and finished 18-4 overall.
Franklin & Marshall and William Smith both made Final Four appearances on the national stage this year and earn the third and fourth rankings respectively, while Tufts rounded out the Top 5.
This is the final ILWomen/IWLCA Division III Poll of the 2024 season. This Poll was voted jointly by coaches throughout the country and members of the media.
