2018 IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll – February 26, 2018
There’s a new number one in the IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll, as Stony Brook University earns its first-ever #1 ranking with 21 first-place votes this week. The Seawolves (3-0) cruised into the top spot after posting a convincing 16-3 win over #21 Denver (3-1) the same weekend that #3 North Carolina (3-1) took down previously top-ranked Maryland in overtime. The Terps (2-1) dropped to the second position in the poll, while Florida (2-1) slipped to fourth after surviving their own overtime battle with #23 Loyola (0-2), and Syracuse (3-0) fell to #5. Boston College (5-0) dropped to the #6 spot, while James Madison claimed the number seven position. Northwestern moved from #15 to #8, Virginia climbed from #16 to #9, and Towson gained a spot to move into the tenth spot.
Boston College (#6) and Navy (#11) start off a big week of Top-25 action with a game in Chestnut Hill on Tuesday. The #25 Stanford Cardinal welcome #16 Duke to campus on Friday, while Northwestern (#8) tries to knock of newly-minted #1 Stony Brook in a road test for the Seawolves. Ivy League rivals Cornell (#18) and Penn (#15) also square off on Saturday, along with Florida (#4) and North Carolina (#3), and Penn State (#13) and (#23) Loyola. Top-25 action wraps up on Sunday with #22 Colorado hosting Virginia Tech (#19), and the #5-ranked Syracuse Orange visiting ACC-rival Virginia (#9).
