2023-24 NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 - No. 1 (February 2)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The first NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 of 2024, the two-time reigning National Champions from British Columbia receive all 18 of 19 first-place votes. Second place Keiser (Fla.) received the final first-place vote. Oklahoma City moves up one spot, Dalton State (Ga.) slips to fourth, and SCAD Savannah (Ga.) remains fifth.
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.
