 Florida Jumps Stanford (Again); Joins Virginia at No. 1 in Campbell/ITA Rankings
 Juricova Sweeps Women's Individual Rankings; Johnson, Tennessee Still No. 1

SKILLMAN, N.J. - The battle continues between Florida and Stanford, who have jostled back and forth at the top of the women's Campbell/ITA Team Rankings nearly all spring. The latest episode appears in this week's rankings, where Florida has once again jumped Stanford, despite the fact that the Cardinal are the only remaining undefeated women's Division I team. 

To get a better understanding of the perpetual shake up at the top of the women's team rankings, let's take a comparative look inside the numbers.
