The Women’s Golf Coaches Association has released its first poll of the spring season. For Carnegie Mellon, not much has changed.
The university, which is located in Pittsburg, received all but two first-place votes to begin the spring at No. 1, while Washington University in St. Louis ranks No. 2 with one first-place vote. The No. 2 position is one better than how Washington-St. Louis finished the spring. The Bears replaced Redlands, which received only one first-place vote and fell to No. 9 in the poll.
Methodist University comes in at No. 3, followed by New York University at No. 4 and Williams College at No. 5.
