LOUISVILLE, Ky. – West Texas A&M ran its win streak to 24 games as it secured the unanimous No. 1 spot in this week’s NFCA/GoRout Division II Top 25 Coaches Poll. The Lady Buffs (44-2) notched four more Lone Star Conference victories, three by virtue of run rule.

Francis Marion rose to No. 2 following three weeks at No. 4. The Patriots (41-3) pushed their win streak to 20 games with three Conference Carolinas doubleheader sweeps and joined top-ranked WT as the just the second Division I program to reach the 40-win plateau.

The two programs previously ahead of Francis Marion, Tampa and UT Tyler each slipped up last week. The third-ranked Spartans (35-4) and fourth-ranked Patriots (39-4) each dropped a conference matchup. UT won its series at new-No. 25 Rollins, but was blanked by the Tars in the finale, while UT Tyler went 3-1 in LSC play, falling at home to St. Mary’s in game one a doubleheader.

Central Oklahoma, Auburn Montgomery, Angelo State and North Georgia stood pat at No. 5 through No. 8, going a combined 16-0 last week. Continuing its rise in the ranking is new-No. 9 Southern Arkansas. The Muleriders (35-5) extended their DII-best winning streak to 25 games with five more triumphs last week, including two shutouts of then-No. 10 Harding.

No. 10 East Stroudsburg dropped a spot to round out the top 10 after a 3-2-1 week in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference play.

Teams also making improvements to their rankings this week were No. 12 Augustana, No. 14 Rogers State, No. 15 Saint Leo, No. 21 Tiffin, No. 22 Pace and No. 24 Pittsburg State. The aforementioned Harding took a big tumble all the way down to 19th. No. 17 Nova Southeastern, No. 20 Oklahoma Christian and No. 23 San Francisco State dropped down from last week.

Rollins (26-12) makes its way into the rankings for the first time this season at No. 25, while then-No. 24 Tusculum (36-12) dropped out.
