2024 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – March 18
Division I lacrosse rankings experience further shifts in Week 6 as parity takes center stage. Northwestern secures 23 first-place votes, marking their third consecutive and fifth overall top ranking following a commanding 14-9 victory against Johns Hopkins this weekend.
The Big Ten takes the top three places. Maryland and undefeated Michigan slid into the second and third slots, respectively, while Boston College dropped to the fourth after its loss to No. 5 Notre Dame in a 15-14 thriller.
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.
