Milligan Women's Golf Checks in at No. 10 in Third NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - On Thursday, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) released the third Women's Golf Coaches' Top 25 of the 2024-25 campaign. Milligan came in at No. 10 in the ranking, preceding the spring portion of their campaign, where they will travel out to southern California on Mar. 17-18. The rating 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.
Milligan earned 331 points in the poll, and gained one spot from their previous mark at No. 11 in the nation in the second poll of the 2024-25 season.
