Middlebury finishes at No. 1 after winning its fourth straight national title. Tufts takes No. 2 following its runner-up finish. Colby lands at No. 3, with a semifinal overtime loss to Middlebury. Gettysburg (No. 4) and Haverford's second round opponent, Salisbury (No. 5) round out the top five after reaching the Final Four and Regional Final, respectively.
In total, 25 teams are represented in the poll, with voters—representing college coaches from across the nation—reflecting on the latest developments in women's lacrosse. The rankings are based on weekly performances, with the poll set to be released each Monday throughout the season.
