2023-24 NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 - Preseason (August 25)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The two-time reigning National Champions from British Columbia receive all 19 first-place votes in the NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25. Dalton State (Ga.), Keiser (Fla.), Oklahoma City, and SCAD Savannah (Ga.) round out the Top Five.
Ranking Methodology
• The ranking 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 rater 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.
