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.
- 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
