(Feb. 24) -- No changes took place among the top eight positions in the NABC/Division II rankings this week, with Nova Southeastern staying atop the poll for the third consecutive week. Cal State East Bay – who remained undefeated with a pair of road wins last week – continues to hold the second spot, while Washburn, Daemen and Gannon complete the top five in the same order as last week.
The next three spots – held by West Liberty, Oklahoma Baptist and Anderson – also stayed intact, but Eastern New Mexico’s loss Saturday at Texas A&M-Kingsville dropped the Greyhounds to 12th and allowed Lubbock Christian and Fairmont State to move up a spot apiece to complete the top 10.
A fair amount of volatility in the rankings from the 12th spot on down last week shuffled the rankings past 11th-ranked West Alabama, with four new teams entering the top 25. St. Cloud State makes its first appearance of the season at No. 21 as it opens play as the top seed in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Tournament this weekend, while DBU rejoins the rankings at No. 23. The other two newcomers are first-timers for the season in Indiana (Pa.) – its first appearance in three seasons at No. 24 – and Felician, ranked for the first time as an NCAA institution at No. 25.
Conference tournament play starts Tuesday in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and Wednesday in the NSIC, with the remaining events starting later this week and into next as the regular season is winding down across the nation.
