Stanford claims top spot in latest Mizuno WGCA Division I Coaches Poll

The WGCA has released its third women’s coaches poll of the season, and Stanford has jumped to the top. The Cardinal received 17 first-place votes after opening the fall with back-to-back team victories and ranks ahead of Oklahoma State, which earned four first-place votes, and Arkansas with one first-place vote.

Perhaps even more notably, Virginia and Oregon landed at No. 4 and 5, respectively, after climbing 17 spots in the poll. Virginia has finished runner-up in its first two tournament and Oregon started its season winning the Mason Rudolph.
