2018 IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll – April 30, 2018

 

The Division I Coaches Poll finds Stony Brook University (17-0) on top again this week, with the Seawolves earning all but one first place vote. Maryland (16-1) moved into second place, and North Carolina (15-3) jumped into third after defeating Boston College to claim the ACC Championship. The Eagles (19-1) fell to fourth and are followed by James Madison (16-1) in the fifth position to round out the top five. Numbers six through nine stayed exactly the same: Florida (14-3), Northwestern (13-4), Towson (14-3), and Loyola (14-3). Navy (14-3) moved back into the top ten. Stanford (15-4) jumped two spots to number 11 after winning the Pac-12 Championship, and Princeton moved up to number 15 after beating Penn (12-3) and claiming a share of the Ivy League regular season title.

There are no regular season top-25 games this week, but fans can expect to see several marquee matchups in the conference tournaments taking place this weekend. The Big-Ten, Patriot League, Ivy League, and CAA Championship all have the potential to feature a top-25 championship game with multiple ranked teams in the tournament fields.

The 2018 Coaches Poll has been expanded to include 25 teams in all three NCAA Divisions this year in order to more accurately reflect the growth of the game at the collegiate level in recent years. The Coaches Polls are published every Monday during the regular season.
