the action picked up as the week progressed in week number one of the women’s 2021 spring season. it was the first contest in over 400 days for many programs.
Records have been updated to reflect the contests played during the week but the rankings remain the same as they were in the preseason poll due to the limited number of contests during the first week of the spring season.
the records of the teams that played in the fall 2020 season are carried over to the spring 2021 season. staggered starting times of play among confereneces and schools make comparisons and thus the rankings a little more complex than in the past.
