2024 NAIA Women's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll - Postseason (December 18)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - After allowing only one goal on their way to secure the program's first-ever NAIA Women's Soccer National Championship, the Bees of SCAD Savannah (Ga.) are the unanimous clubhouse leader receiving all available first-place votes in the NAIA Women's Soccer Coaches' postseason poll. Keiser (Fla.) held steady at second; while Columbia (Mo.), College of Idaho, and William Carey (Miss.) round out the top five. After a strong showing at the final site in Pensacola, Fla., MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) joined the top 25, concluding the 2024 season in 16th.

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".
