BC Stays Unbeaten, Major Shifts in Week 3

 

Undefeated Boston College remains the No. 1 vote-getter in Week 3 of the IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll. The Eagles continue their dominance with victories over UMass and Duke this past week.

Stanford enters the Top 10 with a 13-7 win over No. 7 Virginia.

Unranked Harvard defeats No. 17 Navy, 11-9, earning a spot at No. 24, while Navy drops to No. 19.

No. 18 Princeton topped No. 16 Loyola 16-14 on Sunday, picking up their first ranked win and moving up to No. 13.

Notably Syracuse slips to No. 6 after a loss to UNC.

In total, 25 teams are represented in the poll, with voters—representing college coaches from across the nation—reflecting on the latest developments in women's lacrosse. The rankings are based on weekly performances, with the poll set to be released each Monday throughout the season.
