2021-22 NAIA Women’s Soccer Coaches’ Top 25 Poll – Week Seven (October 20, 2021)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – As the season reaches the stretch run, things are tightening-up in the latest edition of the Top 25. Three ties highlight a very competitive group as William Carey (Miss.) continued to pace the field with a 13-0 record. Keiser (Fla.), Tennessee Southern, Spring Arbor (Mich.), Central Methodist (Mo.), Marian (Ind.) and John Brown (Ark.) stayed put at Nos. 2-7 respectively.
Poll Methodology
- The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences, Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) and Unaffiliated Groups.
- The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter 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 ratings) 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 appears on.
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes.”
