College of Idaho Rises to No. 17 in This Week's NAIA Women's Poll
KANSAS CITY – On the strength of conference road wins over Oregon Tech and then-No. 16 Southern Oregon, College of Idaho made the biggest jump of any teams listed in this week’s NAIA Top 25 Division II women’s basketball poll.
The Yotes (10-1), who have won 10 consecutive games, moved from 23rd to 17th. Southern Oregon University (8-1), which had its season-opening eight-game win streak stopped in Saturday’s 98-86 loss to C of I, dropped from 16th to 20th.
Concordia, which is off to a 7-1 overall start and shares first place in the CCC standings with a 2-0 record, totaled 20 points but did not crack the Top 25.
