Hi all! I'm a high school junior and very much into soccer. I'd love to play for a DIII school after I graduate. Can someone tell me which colleges have top-ranked women's soccer programs in Division III? Thanks in advance!
Hello! It's terrific that you're interested in playing soccer at the DIII level. Here is a list of some of the top-ranked DIII women's soccer programs based on their performance in recent years and their historical track record:
1. Williams College (Williamstown, MA)
2. Middlebury College (Middlebury, VT)
3. Washington University in St. Louis (St. Louis, MO)
4. University of Chicago (Chicago, IL)
5. Messiah College (Mechanicsburg, PA)
6. Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD)
7. Tufts University (Medford, MA)
8. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (Claremont, CA)
9. Christopher Newport University (Newport News, VA)
10. Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA)
Keep in mind that rankings can fluctuate depending on various factors, and the list above may not be an exhaustive representation of all the top DIII women's soccer programs. I highly recommend doing further research on the schools that interest you and evaluating their overall academic programs, size, and community aspects to find the best match for you both athletically and academically.
When researching colleges, you might also want to consider factors such as a soccer team's coaches, team culture, and the balance of academics and athletics at each particular school. Make sure you contact the coaches of the programs you're interested in to express your interest and provide them with your athletic profile or highlight reel if available. Good luck!
