UMW Women's Lax Holds at Fourth in IWLCA Weekly National Division III Poll

UMW Women's Lax Holds at Fourth in IWLCA Weekly National Division III Poll

Gettysburg College (5-0) headlined the Division III Coaches Poll again this week, receiving all 25 first-place votes. Franklin & Marshall (5-1), Washington and Lee (5-2), Mary Washington (7-1) and Salisbury (6-1) all stayed locked in place to keep the top five intact and in order for a second week. The back half of the top-ten had little movement, as the teams ranked sixth through ten didn't change, though their order did. Middlebury (3-1), York (5-1), and Trinity (4-0) remained at six, seven, and nine respectively, while Tufts (4-0) and Colby (3-1) swapped spots after the Jumbos took the head-to-head matchup to move up to eighth. The back end of the poll featured two new teams, as Skidmore (3-2) and St. Mary's (4-3) grabbed the final two spots in the poll.

 

Franklin & Marshall (#2) heads to #14 Catholic, #7 York faces top-ranked Gettysburg, #15 Cortland visits #5 Salisbury, and #8 Tufts takes on #13 TCNJ for mid-week top-25 matchups on Wednesday. The weekend's games to watch include #6 Middlebury at #18 Bowdoin, #19 Ithaca at St. John Fisher (#16), Tufts at #9 Trinity, #3 Washington and Lee at #7 York, and Hamilton (RV) at #12 Amherst.
