2023 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – May 8



After winning the Big Ten Tournament championship this weekend, Northwestern was voted into the No. 1 spot in the final regular-season poll. Boston College, Syracuse, and North Carolina follow to round out the top four after not playing this past weekend.

Denver extended its undefeated win streak, rounding out the Top 5 after clinching their third-straight Big East title and earning one first-place vote in the Week 13 poll.

The Florida Gators jumped two spots into the sixth position after topping James Madison in the AAC final, ending the Dukes’ 17-game win streak.

The Week 13 poll marks the last ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll of the 2023 regular season, with the final poll of the year set to be released on Tuesday, May 30.

The poll is voted on jointly by coaches throughout the country and members of the media.
