NFCA Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll

Oklahoma edges Texas Tech for No. 1 in NFCA/GoRout DI Top 25 Coaches Poll

By a mere two points, Oklahoma overtook Texas Tech for No. 1 in this week’s 2026 NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll. The Sooners (40-4) and Red Raiders (40-3) each received 12 first-place votes, but OU finished two points clear at 747 to Texas Tech’s 745. Alabama, which collected the other seven first-place votes, remained in third with 734 points.

The Sooners, which were one of four programs to reach 40 wins last week, traveled to Austin and earned a pivotal SEC-series win over then-No. 4 Texas. OU blanked the Longhorns (33-6), 3-0, in the opener and secured the series with a 4-3 triumph in game two, highlighted by Kendall Wells‘ NCAA freshman record 31st home run. Texas, which fell a spot to No. 5, salvaged a victory in the finale, walking off OU, 8-6 in eight innings.

The Red Raiders saw their 14-game win streak snapped, but came out of Salt Lake City with a Big 12 series win over Utah with victories in games one and three. Texas Tech has now won 40 games in back-to-back seasons for just the second time in program history (2011-12).

The third-ranked Crimson Tide (39-3) cruised to four wins last week, including a three-game sweep of Auburn, their first over the Tigers since 2021. Alabama pitchers recorded three shutouts and allowed just one run and 12 hits over 25 innings.

No. 4 Florida (40-5) moved back into the top five following a convincing three-game sweep at RV South Carolina, along with a home win over USF.

Also moving up the poll are No. 6 Nebraska, No. 7 Tennessee and No. 9 UCLA, who went a combined 11-0, seven via a shutout. The Huskers (33-6) swept Wisconsin on the road with Tennessee and UCLA collecting four wins apiece last week. The Lady Vols thumped ETSU and Kennesaw State, while also shutting out Kentucky  in the first two games of SEC action. The Bruins (37-5) continued to put up big numbers, scoring a total of 58 runs, edging Fullerton 13-11 and running through Illinois on the road (17-0, 10-2, 18-0).

Arkansas stayed put at No. 8, winning on the road at then-No. 13 Mississippi State and also wrapping up a series sweep of Auburn on April 6.

Florida State took the biggest hit in the rankings, dropping five positions to No. 10 after being swept on the road by new-No. 20 Stanford in ACC action. It snapped the Seminoles’ (36-7) 25-game win streak and marked the first time FSU was swept in a three-game conference series since 2011 (North Carolina). The Cardinal were the biggest beneficiaries this week, moving up four spots.

Also taking a big hit this week was No. 16 Arizona, falling down four rungs on the ladder. The Wildcats (30-11) suffered three defeats last week, dropping the rubber game against Iowa State on April 6 and a non-conference series at then-No. 21 LSU.

Grand Canyon (41-4), the other 40-win program, moved up one position to No. 19.

The 2026 NFCA/GoRout Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll is voted on by 31 NCAA Division I head coaches with one representing each of the NCAA’s Division I Conferences. Records reflect games played through April 12.

NFCA Division I Softball Player and Pitcher of the Week

Swan, Rothrock collect 2026 Louisville Slugger/Wilson DI weekly honors

Arizona State’s Samantha Swan and Florida’s Keagan Rothrock were named Division I Louisville Slugger/NFCA Player and Wilson/NFCA Pitcher of the Week for contests played April 6-12.

Rothrock picked up two wins and twirled her third career no-hitter helping the Gators to a three-game Southeastern Conference sweep at South Carolina. In the series opener, Rothrock fanned nine and worked around five walks to collect her first SEC and seven-inning no-hitter. In her other start, Rothrock went 5.2 innings, allowing a run on four hits with six punchouts.

Swan batted .900 (9-for-10), homered three times, drove in 10 runs and reached base safely in all but one plate appearance over four games last week. She also recorded a pair of doubles, scored five time, slugged 2.000 and recorded a .909 on-base percentage. Swan became just the second player to register a multi-homer game against UCF’s Isabella Vega. She also recorded her first grand slam and a career-best six RBI in a win over UTEP.

The awards are voted on by the NFCA Division I Top 25 Poll Committee, which features one member coach from each of the NCAA’s 31 conferences.

Marlins strengthen grip on NFCA/GoRout Division III Top 25 Coaches Poll

Unbeaten Virginia Wesleyan extended its win streak to 32 games to maintain its firm grip on the No. 1 spot in the NFCA/GoRout Division III Top 25 Coaches Poll, the Association announced on Tuesday.

The (32-0) Marlins, who boast the second-longest active win streak in NCAA play to Division II’s Colorado Christian’s 38, haven’t lost since last year’s NCAA Division III championship series. This past week, Virginia Wesleyan allowed a combined two runs in sweeping both Averett and Guilford.

The eight teams below them remained the same, with the top seven squads in the poll unchanged for a full month. Among the first 11 teams, only Linfield lost this past week, dropping the first game of a four-game home conference series with Lewis & Clark, 5-3 in 13 innings on Saturday.

Making big moves in the poll are No. 15 WPI (23-1) and 18th-ranked Muskingum (21-5), which gained seven spots apiece. Meanwhile, MIT (23-3) and Middlebury (23-3) jumped into the mix at 24th and tied for 25th, respectively, and unbeaten Westfield State (22-0) finally cracked the top 25, tying the Panthers for the final spot.

In the receiving votes category, Moravian (18-8), which had been ranked just outside the top 10 the first three weeks of the season, resumed getting recognition after extending its win streak to 10 games.

The NFCA/GoRout Division III Top 25 Coaches Poll is selected by 10 NCAA Division III head coaches representing the 10 NCAA regions. Current 2026 records are listed, with first-place votes in parentheses.
