2016 IWLCA Coaches' Polls – Pre-Season

The Division I, II, and III defending NCAA Tournament Champions have been chosen #1 in their respective divisional polls to open the 2016 season. The University of Maryland, Adelphi University, and SUNY Cortland all claimed the top spot in the IWLCA Pre-Season Coaches' Poll. 

The IWLCA Communications committee, which oversees the coaches’ polls, has added a new feature in 2016. 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 February 8 for Division I, February 22 for Division II, and February 29 for Division III.
