Lawrence Tech Leads, Two Others Close Behind in NAIA Women's Top 10

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lawrence Tech (Mich.) remained at the top, receiving six first-place votes in the first regular season NAIA Women's Lacrosse Poll.

Poll Methodology:

• The NAIA Women's Lacrosse Poll is for publicity purposes only and has no weight or bearing in the selection process for national championship field consideration
• The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and Continental Athletic Conference (Independents)
• The Top 10 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 rating) is removed
• Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”
• For the first preseason poll, there is no column referencing a previous ranking, as polls are new and different from the ratings system
• Frequency of polls occur bi-weekly
