The Lady Buffs went 2-0 this past week, collecting a pair of road wins over Lone Star Conference North Division opponents, which allowed the Lady Buffs to move up one spot from last week’s No. 23 ranking.
The Lady Buffs have now been ranked inside the top-25 poll for an 84-straight weeks dating back to the first weekly poll of the 2005-06 season.
Delta State remained at No. 1 for a third straight week and Lander followed right behind at No. 2 this week. Fort Lewis stayed at No. 3, Washburn remained at No. 4 and Arkansas Tech held down the No. 5 spot as no movements were made within the top five teams from last week’s poll.
Clayton State (No. 6), Northeastern State (No. 7), Emporia State (No. 8) and Grand Valley State (No. 9) each remained in their same positions from last week, but Wayne State moved into the No. 10 spot this week, making it the only change among the top 10 teams. Last week’s No. 10 team, Franklin Pierce, fell three spots to No. 13 this week.
Other notable movements made this week were Millersville University falling six spots from No. 11 to No. 17, while Seattle Pacific (No. 23), Bently University (No.24) and South Carolina-Aiken (No. 25) all entered the poll this week after not being ranked last week. Pace University, California University of Pennsylvania and Indianapolis all dropped out of this week’s poll.
The Lady Buffs return to action this Saturday and Monday with home contests against Central Oklahoma and No. 7 Northeastern State. Saturday’s tip-off against the Bronchos is set for 4 p.m., while Monday’s game against the RiverHawks is scheduled to tip-off at 6 p.m. Both games will be played at the First United Bank Center in Canyon.
