D-I Women’s Division Power Rankings

D-I Women’s Division Discussion

• Following a signature win over British Columbia and a strong semifinal victory against North Carolina at the Northwest Challenge, Washington climbs three spots into the top three, reasserting their status as a title contender after an uninspiring first couple of performances.
• Despite a solid season to date, Stanford Superfly drop four spots — the largest fall in the top ten. They were leapfrogged by UNC, Tufts, and UBC, all of whom defeated Stanford in universe point contests at NWC.
• Michigan and Florida return to the Top 25. Michigan lands at #21 after upsetting Victoria, showing a high ceiling and competing with some top 15 clubs. Florida claims the #24 spot on the back of an impressive win over UCLA at Centex, displacing lower-tier teams that lacked similar marquee victories, despite a couple of losses of their own.

• No top teams were in action this past weekend. There’s sure to be plenty of movement next week after Easterns.

 

D-III Women’s Division Power Rankings

• Rice handled a short-handed Colorado College at Centex. The two are likely to face off again at South Central Regionals, only that time with a bid on the line.

D-III Men’s Division Discussion

• The two ranked teams in action this past weekend — Richmond and Carleton — also conveniently played each other. The Spidermonkeys came away with the one-point upset victory, an odd blip on an otherwise lackluster outing for Richmond and solid semifinal showing for Carleton that keeps both teams where they are.
• With more than half of the top ranked teams in action this coming weekend, many at D-III Easterns, we’ll have the most complete picture yet of the divisional landscape.

Just for subscribers, we’re recapping each team’s best result!

D-I Women’s Division

Contributions from Edward Stephens, Kiana Hu, and Graham Gerhart

1. Carleton – Plenty of big moments could highlight an undefeated regular season, but look to their win over UBC in the Santa Barbara Invite final way back in January as the one that set the tone for how they would play for the entire spring.
2. UC Santa Cruz – This up-and-coming Sol team has a string of impressive results, but the most telling is their 13-8 win in the final of Stanford Invite. Punctuating their regular season with a comprehensive victory over conferences rival Stanford has got to be a confidence booster heading into the post-series.
3. Washington – You’d be tempted to call Element’s most important result of the season one of the wins from Northwest Challenge. We wonder, though, if that ugly 13-1 loss to Stanford in their first outing hasn’t been more of a driver for the team’s development: it’s the kind of game that reminds a team that coasting on talent will not get the job done.
4. British Columbia – Two tight games against Syzygy – one each at Santa Barbara Invite and Northwest Challenge – demonstrate exactly where the Thunderbirds’ priorities are, regardless of the fact that both were losses.
5. North Carolina – While the wins over Stanford and Tufts at Northwest Challenge are against ostensibly stronger teams, the key piece of data is likely the total control they exhibited against Colorado, especially their 8-3 first half.
6. Tufts – There were plenty of prove-it moments for Tufts at Northwest Challenge. Still, we’ll take their come-from-behind win in the Queen City final against Penn as the moment when EWO decided they were truly elite.
7. Stanford – Superfly have had plenty of good wins and close defeats (see three universe-point losses) to round out a solid resume, but the eye-popping result has to be their 13-1 rout of UW back at Pres Day, indisputable proof that this team can ride its grab-bag of zone defenses to great success.
8. Colorado – After what has been a bit of a lackluster showing from a Quandary team that returned key contributors and added exciting rookie talent, their best result may just be a pair of universe losses: 12-11 against UCSC at Pres Day, and 13-12 against Tufts at NWC. With no challenger in sight for the lone South Central bid, there’s nothing wrong with saving the flashy games for May.
9. Pennsylvania – If only we could’ve stopped the count at 14-10 in their QCTU final against Tufts, that would have been far and away the best result for this scintillating Venus squad. Though they gave up a 5-0 run to end up with a tough universe loss, there’s no reason not to believe that this is the best Penn has ever looked.
10. UC San Diego – While most of DCo’s best results have come against in-region teams, they made a statement in a 13-12 universe win over Western Washington with a clutch goal-line stand and immediate full field conversion for the break, and have flashed a high ceiling with such elite-level play from their stars.
11. Western Washington – As much as we can’t take stock in late-stage consolation games, WWU’s 14-6 beatdown of fellow NW contender Victoria in the 9th place final at Northwest Challenge heralds a resurgent Chaos squad that can turn on the clamps against top-ranked opponents.
12. Oregon – Oregon’s had a target on their back all season. Teams have played their best games against Fugue, and it’s been a tough road for them. It’s what made their 12-10 win over Colorado at the Northwest Challenge that much sweeter for the team. After being pushed to their limit in every game, they brought it all together against one of the best teams in the nation.
13. Victoria – UVic announced their entry into the upper echelons of the division with a quarters run in a deep SBI field, thanks to a 13-3 shellacking of UC Davis in the prequarter where they jumped out to a 7-0 half and never looked back. They’ve had some more variable results since then, but it’s clear that this year’s squad has taken a big step upwards.
14. UC Davis – The win over Colorado is the first result anyone would mention when asked about the standout game of Rogue’s season. The team fought Quandary tooth and nail, finding the last bit of energy necessary to beat a worthy opponent. The team’s had plenty more moments like it since then, but that game set the tone.
15. Cal Poly SLO – Cal Poly’s uneven season has led to a lot of games they’d prefer to forget, but plenty of games they’re proud of, too. Nothing portrays this better than their 9-8 revenge win over UVic in their first game at the Stanford Invite after losing to the team two months earlier. No one needs to bring up how the rubber match went later that same tournament.
16. Northeastern – Northeastern’s had more close games than they’d like, for both wins and losses, so their standout performance comes in contrast to those. A 9-1 win over Texas showed that their D-line’s offense could build a win for them brick by brick, and that’s what they’ll need to rely on as the postseason looms.
17. UCLA – While UCLA has struggled against teams above them in the power rankings, two solid wins over Cal Poly SLO have cemented them as a threat in the Southwest and a team that has to be taken seriously. In one of the deepest regions in the nation, UCLA has proven their worth.
18. Vermont – Vermont seems to be the delta between good teams and great teams. They’ve handily beat the teams beneath them and have had significant losses to the teams ahead of them. Their solid wins over Notre Dame, Michigan, and Wisconsin are highlights, proving Vermont is the team to beat if anyone wants to be taken seriously for a spot at Nationals.
19. Minnesota – Minnesota’s still underrated thanks to the handful of close losses to great teams that they’ve suffered, so it was clearly gratifying when they forged past Virginia in a game that could have gone either way. That game removed the moniker of Minnesota as a roster that could “give teams good games” and instead showed them as a real threat to the division.
20. Notre Dame – While beating Duke 13-1 might be the team’s personal prove-it moment, it was their gritty win over Michigan that showed the team has staying power in difficult games and wasn’t going to go down easy against any team.
21. Michigan – Perhaps dampened by the around-the-complex pandemonium in the second round of Northwest Challenge, taking down Victoria on universe point is certainly no insignificant result for an extremely young Flywheel team. In what may be a dead heat with Notre Dame for the sole bid out of the Great Lakes, they’ll need to draw from that valuable crunch-time know-how.
22. Georgetown – There are still a lot of questions around Georgetown’s potential, but what’s not in question is their dramatic win over Georgia at Queen City Tune Up. That game was the team’s debut in the power rankings and has looked better and better with each passing tournament.
23. Wisconsin – Wisconsin’s record hides the very true fact that they’re almost entirely responsible for kicking some teams out of the power rankings. Their wins over Texas and UCSB in the consolation bracket at the Stanford Invite brought them into the national conversation and bumped out two teams that had been rated fairly high in the preseason power rankings.
24. Florida – A pair of games against UCLA define Florida’s position on this list and is the clear standout for their season. While they may have lost the first, the 8-5 win over BLU in semis at Centex shows Florida can hang with plenty of teams seeded above them.
25. Georgia – Most teams biggest moments are defined by great wins, but in the case of Georgia, their 13-11 loss to UNC may actually be their most impressive game. Lest we forget, UNC is a Top 5 team, and Georgia playing them so close is a great indicator of the team’s future chances against other top teams.

1. Colorado – It’s difficult to have a much better result than exacting revenge over last year’s champions, as Mamabird did with their 15-12 win over CUT to win SMI.
2. Carleton – CUT’s 15-14 win over Oregon in the semifinal at SMI shouldn’t be impressive on the surface given that Oregon was ranked lower and playing without two of their stars. However, a key mark to a championship team is being able to win without playing the best every time, and CUT demonstrated they have the ability to do that.
3. Oregon – 13-6 in the final of Pres Day stands out. But because they were playing windball rather than ultimate for that one, Oregon’s 15-11 win over UC Santa Cruz in the third place game at Smoky Mountain Invite shows the team can bounce back after a tough loss and win games without their best players.
4. North Carolina – Maybe it isn’t their most impressive win on paper, but UNC’s 15-14 win in the SMI bracket over Penn State showed they have the mettle to resist a strong test from a program on the rise and will play their best in the brightest moments.
5. UC Santa Cruz – A bracket play win over Cal Poly SLO has to be UC Santa Cruz’s best result of the year, after the Slugs toppled SLO 13-10 at President’s Day Invite quarterfinals. A 13-8 pool play win over UMass at Smoky Mountain Invite is another signature result, although UMass’ terrible SMI dilutes that significance.
6. Cal Poly SLO – SLO’s 13-9 win over Western Washington would be a nice result in a vacuum, but also brought home a tournament victory at Northwest Challenge, SLO’s first of the year. The improvement SLO demonstrated from a dismal SBI to a win at NWC is a good sign for California’s Central Coast.
7. Oregon State – The Beavers’ resume somewhat lacks for signature wins in meaningful tournament action, with pool play, crossover games and consolation matchups producing their top results. For that reason, let’s call their 13-10 PDI quarterfinal win over Washington their best win, as it’s their top result in a game that still carried meaningful tournament implications.
8. Western Washington – Dirt have just one algorithmic top-20 win this season and it was a pool play victory over Oregon State at PACCon – a 15-12 result. Their next best win is over UCLA (#17 in power rankings, #21 in the algorithm).
9. Pittsburgh – It’s hard to pick between a pair of 13-11 victories for Pitt over the third and fourth ranked teams in our rankings. Considering Oregon are the top team in USAU’s algorithm, that win inches ahead as En Sabah Nur’s best result.
10. Victoria – UVic won Santa Barbara Invite, but to get to the final they had to beat a UC Santa Cruz team (12-10) that has looked even better since then. While the tournament victory gave the team a full showcase, their semifinal win over the number five team in the country put the division on notice.
11. Massachusetts – Just to be blunt, UMass doesn’t have many particularly impressive wins given their talent weighed against their five-loss record. 13-11 over Pitt at the start of Florida Warm Up looks better now than it did then, but UMass has lost their matchups against most highly ranked teams.
12. Vermont – The swirling winds had much to do with generating the lopsided scoreline, but Vermont’s 13-5 win over Pitt was great in the moment and looks even better today. For a clean weather answer, Chill’s universe point win over Georgia Tech is another high point for their season.
13. Georgia Tech – Back-to-back wins over UMass and UC Santa Cruz to start SMI were a great way to erase the sting of Florida Warm Up for Tribe. The win over Santa Cruz was by a slightly greater margin, so we’ll call that their best result.
14. Brown – Beating Pitt is slightly more impressive on paper, but Brown’s 15-10 win over UMass is perhaps more important in the long run, given that the two will likely see each other at Regionals.
15. Texas – TUFF’s win over UMass in SMI prequarters remains their best result, as Texas proved their mettle somewhat decisively in a 15-13 win against last year’s semifinalists.
16. Penn State – It’s rarely a good sign when your best result is a loss. But for Penn State, a pair of close losses – by two against Carleton and by one against UNC – show they’re not that far away from the division’s top tier.
17. UCLA – Their 13-11 pool play win over UBC at Northwest Challenge set the tone for Smaug’s run to semis and rise in the rankings.
18. Michigan – The actual answer is the 15-14 win over Pitt at Smoky Mountain Invite that kept Michigan in the bracket, but the answer I want to give is MagnUM’s 8-7 win over Brown in potentially the sloppiest game in recorded history which must have featured nearly 200 turnovers in powerful wind.
19. UBC – UBC has a few wins over fellow ranked teams this year, but one stands out above the rest. A universe point win over Cal Poly SLO, back at Santa Barbara Invite, is easily the Thunderbirds’ best result.
20. Wisconsin – Wisconsin’s 12-11 win over Georgia Tech didn’t look all that impressive in the aftermath of Florida Warm Up. A few months later, Tribe’s resurgence has aged that victory quite well for the Hodags.
21. UNC Wilmington – Hanging close with UNC, as Wilmington did in an 11-9 loss at Queen City Tune Up, is both a strong result to put at the top of their résumé and a key marking point to remember heading into a likely rematch in the Atlantic Coast final.
22. Utah – It’s funny that Utah and BYU each traveled a long distance to play each other at SBI, but Utah’s 13-10 win in pool play was their first in this matchup for as far back as my research shows. It must feel good to finally be the best team in the state after years of dominance from BYU and Utah State.
23. Cal – Ursa Major have just one win over a ranked opponent this year, making this a pretty easy call. Their 13-9 win over Victoria immediately jumps off the page when looking at their results.
24. Chicago – Fission’s 13-11 win over Davenport in the semifinal of QCTU not only brought UChicago to their biggest regular season game in recent memory, but it served as an initial standings check in what should be a competitive Great Lakes.
25. Washington – Washington’s resume is somewhat lacking, with their SBI win over SLO devalued given Cal Poly’s horrific performance that weekend. Given that context, give the Sundodgers credit for their 13-8 prequarters domination of Cal Ursa Major at President’s Day Invite.

D-III Women’s Division

Contributions from Theresa Diffendal and TJ Lee

1. Wesleyan – An upwind/downwind game it may have been, but Wesleyan’s 7-6 win over Middlebury at March UMadness shows how thin the margins are between two teams we expect to contend for a title.
2. Middlebury – Right now New England is sitting on just one bid, and Middlebury’s dominant 11-5 and 10-5 victories over Amherst and Mount Holyoke show they’re likely to be the ones to take it.
3. Haverford and Bryn Mawr – Kenyon is likely to be the Sneetches’ biggest competition for the Ohio Valley’s single projected bid, and beating Blu-Ray in a windy 8-6 affair at Cherry Blossom Classic is an excellent sign for last year’s finalists.
4. Carleton Eclipse – We thought Carleton would take a step back this year following the graduation of Frankie Saraniti and a so-so 2025 Nationals. But a 12-8 win over Whitman at D3 Grand Prix proved the naysayers wrong, and positions Eclipse right in the thick of the title contenders.
5. Whitman – The Northwest has just two bids at the moment, and beating Lewis & Clark three times – including a 13-4 beatdown at PACCon – means the Sweets are likely to retain at least one of those bids.
6. Davenport – The Panthers have played two very different tournaments, only allowing six goals against at Spring Skirmish and taking some lumps against strong D-I teams at Queen City Tune Up. The two lumps they didn’t take: 13-4 and 10-2 wins over McGill and William & Mary.
7. St. Olaf – The North Central is a powerhouse of Women’s D-III, and Vortex’s 10-6 win over Macalester at Midwest Throwdown showed they’re a serious threat to retain the NC crown.
8. Rochester – The EZ Women have only put in an appearance at Bring the Huckus thus far, but doubling up Wellesley 8-4 showed the Metro East is not to be messed with – at least in D-III Women’s.
9. Macalester – A 10-4 win over Missouri won Macalester their pool at Midwest Throwdown, setting Macalester up for their run. The Purple Pursesnatchers are back this year, and poised to return to Nationals following their one-year hiatus.
10. Kenyon – Blu-Ray’s results at Cherry Blossom Classic were all within two, even against regionals-level D-I teams. Keyon’s opponents better prepare for a slugfest, because they won’t go away easy.
11. Mount Holyoke – Daisy Chain’s 9-7 win over Wellesley showed the grit we’ve come to associate with Mt. Holyoke, as they got revenge for a pool play loss the day before to make the Grand Northeast Kickoff final.
12. Rice – Easy: Torque’s 15-6 win over Colorado College (with the caveat CoCo were missing players to spring break) at Centex puts Rice in the driver’s seat to repeat as the South Central’s Nationals representatives, a path that will likely run through Zenith.
13. Colorado College – Zenith had a difficult task of bouncing back from a universe point loss to taking on the clear best B team in the nation this year. But Colorado College kept up the momentum and played British Columbia B to universe as well. When at full strength, this is a team that sticks to their opponents, so teams need to watch out.
14. Portland – UPRoar boast an impressive resume, but perhaps the most consequential for the upcoming Series is their most recent win, 9-7 over Lewis & Clark at PACCon. Remember that Artemis knocked out Portland at Regionals last year to prevent UPRoar from even attempting to defend their title.
15. Wellesley – Whiptails’ 9-4 win over Williams at Bring the Huckus vaulted Wellesley back into our Top 25, but their 8-5 win over Mt. Holyoke at Grand Northeast Kickoff showed they’re here to stay.
16. Winona State – Taking St. Olaf to universe point is no easy task, and is made even more impressive given the fact that Winona State only did it with seven players. The savage line has what it takes to stick it out until the end of the game, and is ready to make a deep playoff run.
17. Lewis & Clark – Getting back at Oregon State and winning 10-7 shows the spark that Lewis & Clark picked up last year in the bracket. Keep an eye out for Artemis if they can keep up the momentum and get revenge against some of their D-III opponents.
18. Oberlin – Preying Manti were our sleeper pick heading into the season, and they backed up the hype with a one-point win over Pittsburgh at Commonwealth Cup Weekend 2. Makes you wonder how the D-III teams would fare at D-I Ohio Valley Regionals.
19. Williams – Nova made a strong statement to open their season, taking down Rochester 8-4. They’ll hope to channel more of that at what is shaping up to be a dog fight of a New England Regionals.
20. Santa Clara – Beating Portland 8-6 at Stanford Open really put the newly-D-III RAGE on our radar. They seem the likely Nationals attendee from the Southwest, which would mark the first time Santa Clara attended the big dance, ever.
21. Amherst – Not every best result has to be a win. An 8-5 loss to Wesleyan at March UMadness showed Sparkle Motion can hang with the division’s best.
22. Puget Sound – A 12-11 loss to Lewis & Clark at D3 Grand Prix showed the ceiling we expect from a team that stunned the division at Regionals last year by upsetting that same Artemis team to book their ticket to Nationals.
23. Occidental – Colorado State is a top 50 ranked D-I squad, and attended Nationals not too long ago. WAC played them within three, losing 14-11, the toughest test Hell’s Belles faced from the three D-III schools they’ve seen.
24. Union – With only one tournament played so far, Union sits in a bubble that makes it difficult to contextualize their results. Nonetheless, a 5-1 outing where every win came by five or more goals shows the Jillz know how to take care of business.
25. Trinity – Trinity’s back-to-back universe point upsets in pool play over Arizona State and Central Florida at Centex showcased the kind of depth and hunger Altitude will need in a revamped Southwest Regionals.

D-III Men’s Division

Contributions from Josh Katz, Calvin Ciorba, and Hunter Lang

1. Middlebury – Beating a D-I Nationals contender as a D-III team will always be notable. To do so comfortably, as Middlebury did in a 13-10 win over Wisconsin at Florida Warm Up, is even more impressive.
2. Elon – Big Fat Bomb are one of the few teams who haven’t played anyone from the D-III division this year. Taking care of the majority of the solid D-I teams they have played, including a two point win over Cincinnati, lets us know this team is once again quite good. Now we just have to see how they do at D-III Easterns this weekend.
3. Lewis & Clark – Last year’s champs have had their stumbles, but a 13-7 evisceration of CHOP at D3 Grand Prix is more than enough proof that Bacchus deservedly remain among the top teams in the division.
4. Oklahoma Christian – Not many (good) teams can point to a loss as their best result, but on a weekend where the reigning D-I champs were romping through the Florida Warmup field, OC managed to keep the game respectably close. Despite the early-season kinks that D-III teams in particular go through, Oklahoma Christian proved they have the talent to compete with anyone in the country.
5. Carleton CHOP – CHOP have the most wins in the division,so there are plenty of great results to choose from: two wins against a solid Emory team at AC Open and a pair of wins against Claremont and Colorado Mines come to mind. But an early season blowout against regional rival St. Olaf has to have CHOP feeling great about their chances of repeating as champions of the North Central.
6. St. Olaf – No one knows whether the North Central will earn a third bid this weekend, but the Zerks must feel somewhat better knowing they’d defeated their biggest challenger for the Nationals spot, Macalester, early in the season.
7. Ave Maria – Even if the 2026 version of Georgia is tiers below where they sat in the first half of the decade, Ave Maria’s 13-3 blowout of the titanic Jojah program at Florida Warm Up is a fantastic result for Gyrenes.
8. Franciscan – Fatal had a fairly soft schedule at their lone tournament, but thoroughly dominated Richmond in the final, never giving the Spidermonkeys a chance to even think about a comeback. With Richmond beating CHOP last weekend, that win has only gotten more impressive.
9. Macalester – Macalester have played three games against teams from last year’s Nationals field: two universe point losses, and a 13-10 win over quarterfinalists Whitman. Not a bad way to announce your presence on the national scene.
10. Bowdoin – It’s pretty unclear how good or bad Clown are headed into the final weekend of the regular season. A 13-8 loss to Middlebury tells us they are at least competitive, but a drubbing of the usually solid UMass B 13-6 shows us this team is once again Nationals caliber.
11. Whitman – Arguably no team has had more confusing results this regular season than Whitman. Normally dominant, the Sweets have lost to Macalester, Santa Clara, and only beat Occidental by two, but showed flashes in a two-point loss to Wisconsin and wins against Colorado College and Claremont. Most impressive would be their 13-12 win over CHOP, showing Whitman can still hang with the best in the division.
12. Colorado College – It’s hard to have a better result than beating the champs, as Wasabi did at D3 Grand Prix. They’ve struggled to hit that high again since, but they can always point back to that victory as a proof of concept for what they’re building.
13. Richmond – The Spidermonkeys knew they needed a big weekend to bump themselves up in the algorithm, and coming back from down 10-5 to win on universe against CHOP was a great way to start. Yet, their immediate three losses to Delaware, App State, and William & Mary show how volatile this team can still be.
14. UNC-Asheville – With few results to go off of, it’s difficult to pin how good UNC-Asheville is this year. A win against 2026 Nationals quarterfinalists Rochester, though, is a great way to pad the resume.
15. Williams – After a slate of early season results that included a loss to UMass B, Williams needed a strong second tournament. And they took care of business at Grand Northeast Kickoff, dispatching a group of New England rivals and firmly establishing themselves in the national picture.
16. Claremont – Claremont’s two best results are both losses, which is rarely a good sign. But those are losses by one and two goals to last year’s champion and a semifinalist. The Braineaters aren’t far away from a signature win.
17. Santa Clara – D-III’s newest team spent much of their season struggling against elite D-I competition. Then they beat Whitman 11-8 at Stanford Invite, staking their place in D-III and skyrocketing them up our rankings.
18. Berry – Berry has played a lot of close games this year, and unfortunately for them have rarely come out on top. Universe losses to Georgia, Richmond, and Asheville demonstrate the Bucks can hang, but their best win is 11-8 over Oberlin, leaving fans needing to see more.
19. Colorado Mines  – It’s unsatisfying to pick a loss as a team’s best result, which is probably the case for Mines with their two universe point losses to Oklahoma Christian. So we’ll instead nominate their 13-10 win over Macalester at D3 Grand Prix, which was impressive in its own right, for their best result.
20. Wesleyan  – With only three games on the docket thus far, there’s not a lot to choose from for Nietzsch Factor. Defeating Brandeis on universe is the best result of the limited sample.
21. Rochester  – Like their Metro East rivals above them, Rochester’s slate is sparse. A 13-4 win over Messiah established a solid floor for the Piggies, but a 10-8 loss to UNC-Asheville shows there’s plenty of growing left to do.
22. Portland – Portland’s schedule is lacking games against similarly ranked (by the algorithm) teams: just two against teams within 25 places of them. A 15-6 win over Oregon State (B) is doing the most to help their rating, or a 13-5 win over Gonzaga is most helpful to evaluate their placement within D-III.
23. Brandeis – TRON’s best result is probably a universe point loss to Wesleyan. But their most meaningful result is probably a universe point loss to Williams. The way the bid picture is shaping up, flipping that to a win at Regionals might be enough to get Brandeis to Nationals.
24. Kenyon – SERF’s best wins of the year are a pair of victories over D-I’s Duke Brimstone. The second of the pair, in the final of Oak Creek Challenge, was a comprehensive 13-6 beatdown that pushed them to the periphery of the bid picture.
25. Oberlin – Oberlin’s River City Showdown was full of missed opportunities. But a universe victory over a Wesleyan team that made it to Nationals prequarters last year proves the Horsecows may still be a threat at Ohio Valley Regionals.
