D-I Women’s Discussion
- Dartmouth takes over the top spot in this week’s rankings after an emphatic victory at Stanford Invite. They very clearly looked like the best team in the country at the moment, though Texas isn’t too far off, moving up to #2.
- The rest of the Top 5 also saw a shakeup. UBC moves up after a third place finish in Fremont. Now with three losses on the season, Stanford slips three spots to #4 in the rankings, losing their perch at the top for the first time all year. UCLA also drop as they absorb losses to Oregon and UBC.
- After picking up a win over #8 Colorado and coming within a point of upsetting Texas in the Stanford Invite quarterfinals, Michigan moves up to #13.
- The Northwest looks to be in a dire bid situation, as both Whitman and Western Washington continue to slide down the rankings, now at #18 and #21 respectively.
- With Kansas stumbling at Midwest Throwdown and dropping out of the rankings, Colorado College joins the Top 25 by virtue of a win over USC.
