2023-24 NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 - FINAL (May 3)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - British Columbia receives 17 first-place votes in the final NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25, as the top seven teams remain in the same place from the previous rankings. Keiser (Fla.) claimed one first-place vote and is second followed by Oklahoma City, SCAD Savannah (Ga.) and Texas Wesleyan. Northwestern Ohio moved into the Top 25, grabbing the final spot of the rating.
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.
