2018 IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll – March 5, 2018
The Gettysburg Bullets (3-0) collected 24 of 25 first-place votes to land in the top spot of the IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll again this week. The College of New Jersey (2-0), Trinity (0-0), Middlebury (2-0), and Salisbury (3-0) round out the top five. The second half of the top ten features York (2-0), Mary Washington (5-0), Ithaca (1-0), Franklin & Marshall (2-2), and Washington and Lee (1-3).
There is a great slate of Top-25 battles to watch this week, starting on Wednesday when William Smith (#13) hosts #17 Hamilton and #6 York hosts Messiah (#T-18). Weekend action continues on Saturday with several key matchups: Bates (RV) hosts #T-18 Wesleyan, Brockport (#22) hosts Ithaca (#8), Cortland (#15) welcomes #9 Franklin & Marshall, and Hamilton hosts #14 Colby. Sunday features two big battles, with top-ranked Gettysburg traveling to #10 Washington and Lee, and William Smith and Colby squaring off in a neutral site match-up.
