D-III Women’s Discussion
- As expected, loads of action this weekend across multiple D-III focused events lights up the board for one of the first times all season, including action inside the Top 10. Mount Holyoke won the Long Island Classic round robin to climb three spots up to #4, knocking Oberlin back to #5 despite winning D-III Midwestern Invite by dint of dropping a game to Missouri S&T to start their weekend.
- Carleton Eclipse went from unranked all the way up to #6 after beating St.Olaf not once but twice in local sanctioned round robin Forever Winter.
- Winona State was amidst a very solid weekend at D-III Midwestern Invite before they dropped out on Sunday. Wins over Missouri S&T and Michigan Tech see them climb into our Top 15.
- An impressive tournament victory at Dust Bowl has John Brown at #19 after defeating D-I Oklahoma in the final.
- A trio of 2019 Power Rankings debutants fill the back end of our board: #23 Wellesley, #24 Michigan Tech, and #25 Smith all notched meaningful wins over the weekend to merit inclusion in our Top 25. Falling out to make space are Rice, North Park, Xavier, and Middlebury.

Northwest pair Portland and Puget Sound enter the rankings this week after surprising with runs to the semis at the tournament,just ahead of the fourth semifinalist #16 Missouri S&T.

- The Colby Dazzlin’ Asses make their Power Rankings debut on the back of a 6-0 performance at Atlantic City 9.
