Big Green Finish Season Ranked 9th in Final IWLCA Coaches Poll

HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth women's lacrosse team will finish the shortened 2020 season ranked ninth in the final Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) national poll released on Thursday.

The Big Green — like every other team in the nation – had its 2020 campaign cut short to limit the amount of exposure to the COVID-19 virus. In the five games played this spring, Dartmouth was a perfect 5-0.

With wins against No. 13 UMass and No. 5 Florida in addition to dominating wins against Boston University and New Hampshire, as well as an overtime thriller against Brown in the only Ivy League game of the season, the Green and White were rewarded with a spot in the top-10 in the final release of the year.

It marks the first time finishing in the top 10 in the final poll since 2012 when Dartmouth was 10th, its highest finish since the poll began in 2009.

Though final rankings were not released by the US Lacrosse Magazine and Inside Lacrosse, the Big Green were No. 6 and No. 7, respectively, in the most recent releases of each poll.

In all three, Dartmouth was the highest-ranked Ivy team.
