This is our inaugural NAIA individual ranking! Last year, the NAIA hosted their first women’s national invitational, and multiple new programs have been added within the last year. There are now 33 NAIA programs, and many of them are brand new. We’ll be hosting a separate team ranking.

Please note: Rankings are not predictive. They are based on college level results. While we know there are many incoming freshman that are rank-worthy, we do not rank freshmen until they have results that justify a ranking.

Tell us where we got it wrong! We’ll update our rankings every month during the season.
