2023 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – April 24

There’s a new No. 1 in Division I for the first time since Week 6, as No. 4 Boston College topped previously undefeated No. 1 Syracuse on Thursday, 17-16.

The Orange dropped to No. 2 as Northwestern took over the top ranking after clinching the Big Ten regular-season title with a 13-6 win over Maryland on Saturday evening.

Denver remained at No. 3 and remains the lone unbeaten team in the Top 25, while Boston College and James Madison round out the Top 5, respectively.

No. 24 Marquette made its first appearance in the Top 25 this week, with their regular-season finale against the Pioneers set for Saturday.

The ILWomen/IWLCA Poll will be unveiled Mondays throughout the season. It is voted on jointly by coaches throughout the country and members of the media.
