2019 IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll – February 25, 2019

 

Boston College (4-0) again claimed the number one ranking in the regular season Division I Coaches Poll, capturing all but one first place votes. Maryland (3-0) sits tight in the second spot after winning an overtime thrill against #3 North Carolina (3-1) yesterday. Syracuse (4-1) slides into the fourth position after taking down Northwestern in overtime on Sunday, bumping the Wildcats (3-1) back to number five. The back half of the top ten features two new names, as Virginia (4-0) moves up to #7 and Denver (4-0) follows at eight after an 11-7 defeat of Stony Brook (1-1), who drops to tenth. James Madison (3-1) moves up on spot to sit in sixth, and Penn State (3-0) improves their rank from tenth to eighth.

Top-25 action on tap during the week features #9 Denver hosting Michigan (#T-20) on Tuesday, Georgetown (#18) at #16 Johns Hopkins, #8 Penn State at #14 Princeton, and #13 Loyola at Syracuse (#4) on Wednesday. The weekend kicks off on Friday when top-ranked Boston College hosts #24 USC and #23 Towson hosts Stony Brook (#10). Saturday’s games include Penn State at Loyola, Florida (#11) at #17 Navy, #5 Northwestern at North Carolina (#3), and #7 Virginia at Syracuse. The only Top-25 game on Sunday will take place on Long Island, as Stony Brook hosts #22 Stanford.
