2016 IWLCA Coaches' Polls for the week of April 25
The date may have changed, but the top teams in the IWLCA Coaches Polls have not. The University of Maryland, Adelphi University, and SUNY Cortland have all stayed perfect on the field and are perfectly poised to remain the number one team in their divisional polls for the entire regular season. Maryland (16-0), Adelphi (14-0), and Cortland (15-0) all won their respective NCAA Championships in 2015 and are in good shape to defend their titles in the NCAA tournaments that will begin in May.
The IWLCA Communications committee, which oversees the coaches’ polls, has added a new feature for the 2016 season. Following the coaches’ poll release each week, the IWLCA will conduct a “Fan Poll” on Twitter, giving everyone the opportunity to weigh in on the order of the top four teams. The Division I Fan Poll on Twitter (@IWLCA), will be posted on Tuesdays at noon, EST; the Division II Fan Poll on Twitter (@IWLCA), will be posted on Wednesdays at noon, EST; and the Division III Fan Poll on Twitter (@IWLCA), will be posted on Thursdays at noon, EST. Voting for each fan poll will remain open for 24 hours.
The next IWLCA Weekly Poll will be released on May 2, 2016 for all three divisions.
