KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Keiser (Fla.) stays atop the NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25, earning 13 of the 17 first-place votes. The other four are given to British Columbia who sits in second. SCAD Savannah (Ga.) and Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) stay third and fourth respectively, while Marian and Texas Wesleyan flip places at fifth and sixth. Pikeville (Ky.) and Faulkner (Ala.) move into the ratings after receiving votes in the last edition. 

Rating Methodology

• The rating 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.
