Methodist Unanimous Number One
NEW YORK, NY— The fourth Golf World/NGCA Division III Coaches’ Poll has been released, combining the resources of Golf World magazine and the National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA). The complete results, including results from Divisions I and II, will appear in the April 20 issue of Golf World and can be viewed online now at www.golfworld.com/womenspoll.
Methodist is again the unanimous No.1 team, earning all seven first-place votes. The Lady Monarchs won the Tina Barrett Longwood Invitational by eight shots over Gardner-Webb earlier this month–their second win of the spring. Three Methodist players finished in the top-12: Charlotte Williams, 2nd; Heather Martin, T-4; Katie Dick, T-12.
Rounding out the top five are: Gustavus Adolphus (No.2); Middlebury (No.3); DePauw (No.4); Saint Thomas (No.5).
