2024 ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll – April 1
Northwestern is back in the No. 1 slot for Week 8 of the ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll. The Wildcats earned a pair of wins last week, taking down No. 13 North Carolina and Rutgers.
Maryland slid into the second slot, after splitting their week with a loss against No. 7 Penn and a win over No. 5 Michigan on Saturday. Syracuse and Boston College round out the Top 5, ranking third and fourth, respectively. The top four teams all received first-place votes.
Penn’s midweek win over Maryland boosted the Quakers into the Top 10 for the first time this season. The Quakers’ only loss of the year was against Michigan in mid-March.
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.
