2016 IWLCA Coaches' Polls for the week of May 2

With one week of regular season polling left, the University of Maryland, Adelphi University, and SUNY Cortland continue to dominate the IWLCA Divisional Coaches Polls, as each team remained undefeated and swept all 20 first place votes to retain their number one ranking. The top five teams in all three divisional polls were unchanged this week, but the potential for shake-ups in the polls looms large as there are several re-matches between top teams in conference tournaments this weekend before the NCAA selections are announced on May 8.

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 final regular season IWLCA Coaches Poll will be released on May 9, 2016 for all three divisions.
