Varsity Coaches Poll - Nov. 2, 2015
The National Collegiate Women's Varsity Rugby Association (NCWVRA) has released its latest Coaches Poll, a ranking of varsity programs that are also eligible for the first-ever varsity championship. Only those coaches whose programs are championship-eligible were surveyed.
The nine coaches ranked the teams 1 through 9. First place affords 10 points, second place nine points, etc., and a team's "score" is the average of those nine rankings. The final poll will determine the quarterfinal match-ups, set to take place on Nov. 14 at the higher seed's home field. The semifinals will be contested on Nov. 20, and the final on Nov. 22 at Brown University.
