2022-23 NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 Poll - Poll 3 (March 17)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - British Columbia remains atop the leaderboard in the latest edition of the NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 Poll. Dalton State (Ga.) overtakes Oklahoma City for second place followed by Keiser (Fla.) and Cumberlands (Ky.) each leaping up four places.
Poll Methodology
• The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences.
• Each conference is represented by one rater.
• The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place and so on through the list.
• The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) is removed and the team’s ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the teams appear on.
• Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes.
