2024 NAIA Women’s Lacrosse Coaches’ Top 10 - Poll No. 1 (February 21, 2024)
Feb 21, 2024
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Lawrence Tech (Mich.) remained at the top, receiving six first-place votes in the first regular season NAIA Women's Lacrosse Poll. SCAD Savannah (Ga.) and Reinhardt (Ga.) are both tied at No. 2 while No. 4 Keiser (Fla.) and No. 5 Cumberlands (Ky.) round out the top five this week.
Poll Methodology:
- The NAIA Women's Lacrosse Poll is for publicity purposes only and has no weight or bearing in the selection process for national championship field consideration
- The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and Continental Athletic Conference (Independents)
- The Top 10 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
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”
- For the first preseason poll, there is no column referencing a previous ranking, as polls are new and different from the ratings system
- Frequency of polls occur bi-weekly
