Tampa Down to No. 8 in IWLCA Rankings
NORTHBOROUGH, Mass.— The 16-0 Flagler Saints continue to lead the Division II rankings after a dominant 23–4 Gulf South Conference victory over Montevallo. Flagler will close out its regular season this Saturday against No. 23 Alabama Huntsville.
Florida Southern and UIndy remain steady at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. The Mocs added another win this past week with a narrow 12–10 victory over No. 17 Rollins, while the Greyhounds notched a pair of wins, including a 13–12 battle against No. 9 Maryville on Friday.
Saint Leo makes a significant jump to No. 4 after two statement wins, defeating No. 6 Tampa on Wednesday and No. 4 Embry-Riddle on Saturday—both by two-goal margins. The Lions have No. 9 Lynn remaining on their regular-season schedule.
East Stroudsburg (14–0, 9–0 PSAC) climbs two spots to round out the Top 5. The Warriors have three conference games remaining, including a matchup against No. 11 West Chester on April 22.
In total, 25 teams are represented in the poll, with voters—college coaches from across the nation—reflecting the latest results across women's lacrosse. The rankings are based on weekly performances, with the poll set to be released each Monday throughout the season.
