2018 IWLCA Division II Coaches Poll – April 9, 2018
We have a new number one this week, as Adelphi University (11-1) takes over the top position in the Division II Coaches Poll with nine first place votes. Lindenwood (12-0) and Le Moyne (11-0) move into second and third in the poll, and Florida Southern (13-1) falls to fourth after an 11-10 loss to Rollins (12-3) last week. Florida Tech (12-1) remains locked in the fifth position, and Rollins rises two spots to land at six. LIU Post (8-3), Limestone (12-2), Mercy (10-1), and Pace (8-3) round out the top-10 and the remainder of the poll remains largely unchanged.
There are only two Top-25 weekday games to watch, as #2 Lindenwood hosts #13 Grand Valley State on Monday, and #20 Bentley welcomes Adelphi (#1) to campus on Tuesday. The weekend’s notable games include: #10 Pace at Bentley, Merrimack (#14) at #3 Le Moyne, #9 Mercy at LIU Post (#7), Tiffin (#25) at #15 Indianapolis, and #2 Lindenwood at #12 Regis.
