Keiser (Fla.) Jumps 5 Spots to No. 1 in NAIA Men's Lacrosse Coaches Poll

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Keiser (Fla.) claims the No. 1 spot in the latest edition of the 2023 Men's Lacrosse Coaches' Top 10 Poll.

Poll Methodology:

  • The rating committee is comprised of eight raters — two raters per conference/group.

  • Each conference/group produces a conference rating from which raters will use to compile their national ballot. Only teams represented on the conference rating are eligible for the national ballot.

  • Each rater will submit a top 15 ballot, which will be used to produce the Top 10 national rating and a list of other teams receiving votes.

  • The Top 10 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. Each voter ranks 15 teams. A team receives 15 points for each first-place vote, 14 for second place, 13 for third 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 on the ballot are not considered "receiving votes"
