KANSAS CITY, Mo. - British Columbia remains the national leader in the newest NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25. The two-time defending champions received 16 first-place votes. Keiser (Fla.), Oklahoma City, Dalton State (Ga.), and SCAD Savannah (Ga.) remains second through fifth, respectively. Menlo (Calif.) moved into the rating this edition. 

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.
