Spartans Earn Highest Ranking in Program History
NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. - East Stroudsburg returns as No. 1 in the ILWomen/IWLCA Division II Poll for the third time after notching their first win against No. 17 Seton Hill. The University of Tampa is up four spots in the 2023 ILWomen/IWLCA Division II Poll on February 27.
Tampa and Florida Southern both pulled off wins against Adelphi this past week, bumping both teams into the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, respectively while the Panthers dropped to the sixth spot. West Chester and Le Moyne round out the Top 5 in the fourth and fifth positions respectively.
This is the highest that the Spartans have been ranked in program history and they look to continue their success in their next matchup at home with Georgian Court. The highest ranking held previously by the Spartans was No. 3 back in 2019.
The ILWomen/IWLCA Poll will be unveiled Mondays throughout the season. It is voted on jointly by coaches throughout the country and members of the media.
