2024 NAIA Men's Lacrosse Coaches' Top 10 - FINAL (April 28)
Apr 28, 2024
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Reinhardt (Ga.) held the top spot in the NAIA Men's Lacrosse Coaches' Top 10 for the fourth straight week after claiming the Appalachian Athletic Conference Tournament title. The top five remained the same in the final rating of the season, while Indiana Tech climbed three spots to No. 6 in the final edition of the 2024 ratings.
Poll Methodology
- The rating committee is comprised of eight raters – two raters per conference/group.
- Each conference/group produces a conference rating from which raters will use to compile their national ballot. Only teams represented on the conference rating are eligible for the national ballot.
- Each rater will submit a top 15 ballot, which will be used to produce the Top 10 national rating and a list of other teams receiving votes.
- The rating was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences, Continental Athletic Conference (Independents), and Unaffiliated Groups.
- The 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 appears on.
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes.”
