College Poll Roundup – USILA D1 & D2, IWLCA D1 & D2, MCLA D1 & D2 – Week Ending 4/15/2018 – Final With MCLA

 
Author’s Note:  Just like with the Player of the Week Awards, I’m going to experiment with combining all the College Polls into one article each week, to make it easier to follow.  There are no official D3 schools in the NCAA level in the state so we can ignore those for now.  I will include the D1 USILA poll if Jacksonville Men are ranked, as they are the only D1 team in the state.
 

USILA – Division 2

Saint Leo at #5, Tampa at #7 and FIT at #13
