2024 NAIA Women's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll - No. 5 (October 23)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Patriots of Cumberlands (Ky.) remained atop the fifth edition of the NAIA Women's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll with 17-of-18 first place votes. Keiser (Fla.) held strong at second again receiving the final first-place vote. The rest of the top five held steady from the last poll as Central Methodist (Mo.) climbed one spot to six, Oklahoma Wesleyan rose two spots to seventh, and Campbellsville (Ky.) and Marian (Ind.) both jumped three spots and into the top 10 this week.
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".
