We analyzed 33 colleges and universities across the Plains States Region to determine which were the best for D2 Women's Soccer athletes in the Plains States Region.

This means that a school must provide students with a great education in addition to having a good sports team if it wants to rank well.
We know that one set of rankings doesn't always help you determine the best school for you, so we've created the ability to narrow your list by location as well as alternative rankings that prioritize different factors such as those of importance to online students or returning adults or those who value diversity and value for your money.
