Women's DI College Standings
Scores-Standings-Stats - 2012 Standings


Below are the standings for active DI women's colleges across the country.

Texas Tech & A&M must now battle for a DII berth to nationals.

No surprise that Stanford is leading the Pacific Mountain North Conference, although California gave the Cardinal a good second half in last weekend's 32-10 win.

"We played very well in patches, but still struggle with consistency in retaining the ball through phases," Stanford coach Matt Sherman said. "When we were able to take Cal through phases, we looked good in attack.

"When Cal was able to get quick ball, we struggled in our midfield defense to stop their backs," Sherman continued. "We need to be more cohesive defensively when under pressure."

Stanford is now 3-0 and has UC Davis and Chico State during the final two weeks of play.

UCLA leads the Pacific Mountain South Conference, while the rest of the teams sit at 1-2. UC San Diego started their season with losses to UC Santa Barbara and Arizona State, and doesn't have the cohesion the squad boasted at last year's nationals. UCSD rebounded with a 31-10 win on the road against ASU last weekend, but their season hinges on how they perform against UCLA this Saturday.

In the South, North Carolina and Central Florida lead their respective conferences, although both squads played very close matches last weekend. UNC improved to 4-0 but not after a tightly contested 36-24 win over North Carolina State. UCF is also undefeated at 4-0, but Florida gave the reigning conference champs a run with a 20-12 decision.

The Wren conference has been marred by some cancellations and forfeits, but the game of season thus far occurred between league leaders Clemson and Georgia. The two played to a 17-all tie, typical of these two southern rivals. Georgia get the early nod for favorite to win the conference, seeing as Clemson forfeited their match to Tennessee last weekend.

And then there's good ole Texas, probably one of the most exciting regions of play considering the expectations heading into the season. The three teams began their Cup Match series in the fall and picked up against last weekend. University of Texas, the DII team, is currently 3-0 and answered questions of whether a winter's worth of training would even the fields after defeating Texas Tech 54-12. A&M and Tech will now battle for the second seed and berth to the DII playoffs.
