CSCAA Division II Polls: Drury Men, Tampa Women Stay On Top
Drury’s men’s team and the University of Tampa’s women remain on top of the CSCAA Division II Polls for January, released on Friday.
Drury leads an unchanged top four on the men’s side, with the same teams comprising the top 10 as in December’s poll. Drury collected 247 poll points to stay ahead of UIndy, Tampa and Colorado Mesa.
Grand Valley and Wingate swapped spots in fifth and sixth, respectively. McKendree is still seventh, while Lynn hopped Findlay into eighth. The same 25 teams comprise the poll this month as last month.
Change is similarly limited on the women’s side, where Tampa’s 250 points retain its hold on the top spot. Nova Southeastern is still second, followed by Colorado Mesa, Drury and West Florida. UIndy’s leap ahead of Grand Valley to sixth is the only change in the top 10.
West Chester’s relative leap from 22 to 19 is the biggest move up in either poll. Delta State’s men’s team dropped five spots from 19 to 24 for the greatest fall in either poll. Biola enters the women’s poll in 25th.
The selection committee, made up of Division II coaches, evaluates and ranks the nation’s top 25 dual meet teams based on several factors. These include head-to-head dual meet results, performances since the last rankings, season-long achievements, dual meet records, roster changes (such as injuries), and data from the SwimCloud simulator. It’s important to note that the poll is not intended to predict top finishers in a championship meet format.
