2024 NAIA Women's Beach Volleyball Coaches' Top 10 Rating - No. 4 (April 3)
Apr 03, 2024
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - OUAZ (Ariz.) remains at No. 1 in the latest edition of the 2024 NAIA Beach Volleyball Coaches' Top 10 Rating. This is the fourth consecutive No. 1 rating for the Spirit this season. Ave Maria (Fla.) made its way into the Top 5 from No. 9, while Saint Katherine (Calif.) made the biggest jump of five spots from receiving votes just outside the Top 10 to No. 6.
Rating Methodology
- A panel of head coaches rated the team. Two coaches represent each of the conferences/Continental Athletic Conference (Independents)/unaffiliated groups.
- The Coaches' Top 10 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 15 points for each first-place vote, 14 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 on the ballot are not considered "receiving votes"
