KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas Wesleyan University was part of the "Receiving Votes" category of the poll in the latest edition of the NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Poll, the national office announced Friday. The Coyotes moved up into the "Receiving Votes" category after not being recognized in the previous poll.
The next edition of the NAIA Women's Golf Coaches' Poll will be released Friday, April 19.
Ranking Methodology
• The ranking was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences.
• Each conference is represented by one rater.
• The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place and so on through the list.
• The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) is removed and the team’s ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the teams appear on.
• Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes."
