2020 IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll – February 17, 2020



Four of the top five teams in the Preseason Poll lost within the first two weeks of the regular season leaving North Carolina (3-0) to stand alone atop the first regular season poll with all 25 first place votes. After taking down Northwestern on the road, Notre Dame (3-0) jumped five spots to land in the second position. Maryland (1-1) fell to third after losing a close one to Florida (2-0), who shot up to number four. Stony Brook (2-0) also entered the top five on the strength of their season-opening 17-16 win over Syracuse (3-1). Massachusetts (1-1) and Penn State (2-0) entered the poll for the first time in 2020, while Johns Hopkins and High Point dropped out.
