2024 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – February 26
Opening month of lacrosse has been a thriller with multiple upsets, overtime wins, and excitement. Week 3 was no different, resulting in a big week of shakeups in the ILWomen/IWLCA Division I poll.
Boston College returned to the No. 1 spot, voted unanimously, while James Madison and Northwestern each moved up one spot into the second and third slot, respectively. With an upset win against Notre Dame over the weekend, Syracuse jumped back into the fourth spot while the Fighting Irish follow to round out the Top 5.
The other notable upset was No. 11 Florida beating No. 9 Maryland in College Park, marking the Gators’ first win on the season.
The ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll will be unveiled Mondays throughout the season. It is voted on jointly by coaches throughout the country and members of the media.
