2018 IWLCA Division II Coaches Poll – March 12, 2018
Florida Southern (8-0) remains in the top spot in the IWLCA Division II Coaches Poll this week, collecting 22 of 25 first place votes. Adelphi (3-1), Lindenwood (7-0), and Le Moyne (4-0) hold their position in the second through fourth spots, while Florida Tech (7-0) breaks into the top five for the first time this season. Limestone (5-1) moves into the #6 slot, New Haven (2-0) holds at #7, and LIU Post (3-2) drops to eighth. Mercy (5-1) and Indianapolis (5-1) round out the top ten.
There are several compelling matchups between Top-25 teams this week, including #11 Rollins against Lock Haven (#25), and Queens (#15) versus #13 West Chester on Monday, while #8 LIU Post faces New Haven (#7) and #23 McKendree takes on #5 Florida Tech on Tuesday before the Bearcats tangle with top-ranked Florida Southern a day later. Thursday’s action features #6 Limestone taking on Queens, and McKendree plays its third ranked opponent of the week on Friday, when they square off against #18 Tampa. The highlight of the weekend looks to be the battle between #4 Le Moyne and Stonehill (#24) on Saturday.
