KANSAS CITY, Mo. - California Baptist earned all 22 first-place votes to hold strong as the top-ranked team in the second edition of the NAIA Softball Coaches' Top 25 Poll, the national office announced Tuesday. The Lancers recorded 622 points to land the No. 1 spot for the 10th consecutive poll. The top-five teams remain the same, but rearranged with Lubbock Christian (Texas) taking over at No. 2, followed by No. 3 Lee (Tenn.), No. 4 Point Loma Nazarene (Calif.) and No. 5 Bethel (Ind.). 

All 25 teams that were ranked a week ago carried over to the second poll of the 2010 season.
