NEW YORK, N.Y. – The second Golf World/National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) poll of the fall season was released Wednesday morning with the Allegheny women’s golf team earning a #11 national ranking in all of Division III.

The Gators are off to a hot start in 2007, taking first place at the William Smith Invitational in mid-September before placing third at the highly competitive DePauw Classic during the weekend of September 23.
