2018 IWLCA Division II Coaches Poll – April 23, 2018

 

Adelphi University (14-1) collected 16 first-place votes to notch their third week at the top of the Division II Coaches Poll. Lindenwood (15-0), Le Moyne (15-0), Florida Southern (17-1), and Florida Tech (15-1) stayed locked in the same spots as last week to round out the top five. Rollins (14-3) sits in sixth, LIU Post (12-3) stays put at number seven, West Chester (15-0) and Limestone (14-2) trade places at numbers eight and nine, and Mercy (12-2) remains at #10. There was little movement among the rest of the Top-25, but Mount Olive (13-4) is receiving votes for the first time this season.

This week’s top-25 games include one of the most highly anticipated games of the season on Wednesday, when top-ranked Adelphi hosts #3 Le Moyne at 6:00 pm ET. The game is being broadcast on ESPN3. Also on Wednesday, Lindenwood (#2) travels to #7 LIU Post and Bentley (#19) hosts New Haven (#20). The Sunshine State Conference tournament is being held this weekend, and Friday’s semi-final matchups feature #16 Tampa against #5 Florida Tech and Rollins (#6) against #4 Florida Southern. The weekend’s top-25 games include #1 Adelphi hosting #10 Mercy, East Stroudsburg (#18) at LIU Post, #25 Assumption at #15 Merrimack, and #23 Indiana (PA) at #8 West Chester. Limestone (#9) could potentially face Mount Olive (RV) in Sunday’s Conference Carolinas Championship game if both teams advance.
