KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Following their historic run to the semifinals of the NAIA Women's Soccer National Championship tournament, Oklahoma Wesleyan University was ranked No. 3 in the NAIA Women's Soccer Postseason Coaches' Poll, the national office announced Wednesday.
The Eagles are tied for the No. 3 spot with Embry-Riddle (Ariz.).
Poll Methodology
- The national poll is for publicity purposes only and does not influence the selection process for national championship consideration.
- A panel of head coaches representing each conference and the Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) votes in the poll.
- The Top 25 teams are selected using a points-based system:
- 30 points for a 1st-place vote, 29 for 2nd, 28 for 3rd, and so on.
- The highest and lowest rankings received by each team are discarded before final tallying.
- Teams receiving only one point are not listed as “receiving votes.”
- For the Preseason Poll, there is no "previous ranking" column since it is the initial poll and differs from the prior rating system.
