In the final week of the regular season polls, Northwestern was unanimously voted as No. 1 in the ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll after winning its second-straight Big Ten tournament on Saturday evening.

Boston College, Syracuse, Notre Dame, and Michigan all stayed put from the previous week to round out the Top 5, meanwhile, Yale jumped two spots to No. 6 after winning their first Ivy League Championship in thrilling overtime fashion.


The poll comes in the wake of the NCAA Tournament bracket announcement and reveals some of the differences between NCAA resume and poll perception. Maryland, the 4-seed, is ranked No. 13. Navy, ranked No. 20 in the poll, is the first team not in the NCAA Tournament field.

The final ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll will be released on Tuesday, May 28 at the conclusion of the NCAA Tournament. It is voted jointly by coaches throughout the country and members of the media.
