2021 IWLCA Division II Preseason Coaches Poll
The Adelphi University Panthers, the 2019 NCAA Champions, claimed the top spot in the Division II Coaches Poll, narrowly edging out second ranked Lindenwood, despite receiving fewer first place votes. Le Moyne, who ended the shortened 2020 season ranked first, ended up in third, followed by Queens and West Chester.
The 2021 season is expected to begin in late February, though many schools have not published their competition schedules yet. The 2020 season ended when the NCAA announced that it would cancel spring sports championships due to the COVID-19 public health threat on March 12, 2020.
The first weekly IWLCA Division II Coaches Poll of the 2021 season will be published on March 1, 2021.
