2016 IWLCA Coaches' Polls for the week of April 18
The reigning #1 in each of the IWLCA Divisional Coaches Polls retained their spot this week, as Maryland, Adelphi, and Cortland all were unanimous picks for the top spot after remaining undefeated. In Division I, Southern California (#5) moved into the top five for the first time in program history. Division II could see some movement next week as Adelphi faces #2 LeMoyne in a battle of the unbeatens. Division III had a shake-up last week as Middlebury fell to #6 after spending the entire season in the top four.
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 April 25, 2016 for all three divisions.
