(Feb. 17) -- The top four positions in the NABC/Division II rankings remain intact this week, as Nova Southeastern holds onto the top spot for the second week in a row and Cal State East Bay – the last undefeated team in Division II – stays at No. 2. Washburn and Daemen retained the next two spots as well as all four teams at the top of the poll won twice last week as did Gannon, who rose to fifth following Anderson’s loss Saturday at Lincoln Memorial.
West Liberty moved up one spot to sixth after its five-point win over then-No. 8 Fairmont State Saturday and Oklahoma Christian also rose to seventh, while Anderson settled in at eighth after its setback. A pair of Lone Star Conference teams round out this week’s top 10, as Eastern New Mexico is now ninth and Lubbock Christian is 10th.
Three teams joined the top 25 this week, including two making their poll debuts this season. Point Loma returns to the rankings for the first time since Dec. 16 at No. 21, while Rockhurst makes the poll for the first time this year at No. 23 and Central Missouri does likewise at No. 25. It is the first appearance in the rankings for Central Missouri since 2018 and first for Rockhurst in 24 years.
The NCAA will release its first list of teams under consideration for the NCAA Division II Tournament on Wednesday, the first of its three rankings prior to the tournament selections on March 8.
