2024 NAIA Women's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll - No. 3 (September 25)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - For the third straight release, Cumberlands (Ky.) holds the top spot in the NAIA Women's Soccer Coaches' Poll with 17 first-place votes. Keiser (Fla.) held strong at second in the nation, receiving the remaining first-place vote. William Carey (Miss.), Aquinas (Mich.), and Tennessee Southern round out the top five in the third regular-season poll of the season. Life (Ga.) jumped one spot this week to No. 7, while Oklahoma Wesleyan and Marian (Ind.) jumped into the top 10 at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.
Poll Methodology:
- The poll is for publicity purposes only and has no weight or bearing in the selection process for national championship field consideration.
- A panel of head coaches representing each conference and Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) voted on the poll.
- The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter votes for the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, 28 points for third-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".
