Full IWLCA Division III Coaches' Poll Release

HAVERFORD, Pa. – The Haverford Women's Lacrosse team is ranked 21st in the latest Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division III Poll, the organization announced in a release Monday. Haverford (2-1) enters the rankings after a momentous upset victory over then-No. 3 TCNJ (1-1) on Tuesday evening on Swan Field. The Fords later dropped a one-goal contest to then-No. 25 Scranton, 13-12 on Saturday afternoon. The undefeated Royals (4-0) are slotted No. 20 in the latest poll release.

Defending national champion Gettysburg is a unanimous selection for the top spot with all 25 first place votes going to the Bullets.
