2016 IWLCA Coaches' Polls for the week of March 21
There was a little more movement in the IWLCA Divisional Coaches polls this week, but the top teams in each division remained the same - Maryland, Adelphi, and Cortland all collected every first-place vote to maintain their top ranking in the polls. The number two team in each poll also held on, with Florida, Le Moyne, and Franklin & Marshall retaining the second spot.
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 March 28, 2016 for all three divisions.
