2016 IWLCA Coaches' Polls for the week of February 29

All three 2015 defending National Champions hold the top spot in the IWLCA weekly coaches polls for the week of February 29. In Division I, Maryland is currently 3-0 in 2016, including a win this past week over the 2015 runner-up, North Carolina. Adelphi sits at 2-0 in Division II, having defeated Florida Southern and Grand Valley State, both Top-15 opponents. Cortland hasn't opened their season yet, but claimed all 20 first place votes in the Division III poll this week.

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 7, 2016 for all three divisions.
