IWLCA Division I Poll (Final): Maryland Ends Season as Unanimous No. 1
Maryland ended the regular season the way it started, as the unanimous top-ranked team in the country. The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) released its final poll, with the Terps earning all 20 first-place votes.
Northwestern moved back up to the No. 2 spot after winning the American Lacrosse Conference tournament. Harvard moved into the rankings for the first time in 2011 after a runner-up finish at the Ivy League tournament, giving the Ivy League four ranked schools.
