INDIANAPOLIS –  There's a new No. 1 in DII women's lacrosse. 

Following the UIndy women's lacrosse team's 10-6 win over top-ranked and defending national champion, Tampa, the Greyhounds jumped four spots to claim the No. 1 ranking in the latest edition of the IWLCA National Coaches Poll. The Greyhounds find themselves at the No. 1 ranking in the IWLCA poll for the first time since 2023.

The Greyhounds were led by Ava Graham's performance in goal, as she notched nine saves with a .600 save percentage. The six goals allowed to the Spartans on Saturday are the fewest goals allowed to a Tampa team since Mar. 4, 2024. Along with Graham's stellar showing in goal, the senior trio of Ella Fornek, Malaena Michielin and Olivia Bladon combined for six goals and four assists. 

UIndy will now head south for a neutral site battle against the No. 4 team in the nation, Florida Southern, on Saturday Feb. 21 at 11 a.m. in Huntsville, Ala.
