2022-23 NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 Poll - Final (May 12)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The final NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 Poll sees British Columbia retain their top spot thanks to 13 first-place votes. Dalton State (Ga.) receives four while Keiser (Fla.) and Oklahoma City remains in third and fourth, respectively. SCAD Savannah (Ga.) takes the final top five spot this season.
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.
