UMW Women's Lacrosse Moves to Seventh in IWLCA Weekly Poll

Washington and Lee (10-2) took over the number one ranking in the Division III Coaches Poll this week, collecting 11 first-place votes. Gettysburg (10-1) dropped to second after they lost to Franklin & Marshall (9-3) last week. The Diplomats jumped up to the fourth spot in the poll, while Middlebury (9-1) held the third position, and Salisbury (10-2) dropped to fifth. Tufts (11-0) remained undefeated and in the sixth slot, while Mary Washington's (10-2) loss to Salisbury dropped them to #7. York (8-4), Wesleyan (9-2), and Catholic (8-3) held their positions to round out this week's top ten. The back half of the poll stayed relatively stable with only minor shuffling other than the exception of a new entrant in the final spot. Dickinson (8-3) made their 2019 poll debut after beating previous #23 Haverford 13-8 and knocking them out of the poll.

 

This week's top-25 action kicks off on Tuesday when #9 Wesleyan visits #12 Trinity for a NESCAC tilt, followed by #13 Colby at Bowdoin (#14), and Ithaca (#19) at #17 William Smith on Wednesday. The weekend's games to watch include #16 TCNJ at #5 Salisbury, #10 Catholic at #20 Scranton, #3 Middlebury at #12 Trinity, #11 Amherst at #6 Tufts, Bowdoin at Wesleyan, and Middlebury at #24 Hamilton.
