PORTLAND, Ore. – Defending Cascade Collegiate Conference champion College of Idaho, the CCC’s preseason favorite in 2010-11, has been rated 19th in the preseason NAIA Division II women’s basketball Top 25, the national office announced Monday.
The Yotes, who went 21-8 and advanced to the national tournament for a second consecutive season last year, are the lone CCC team in the Top 25. Southern Oregon and Corban, who were picked to finish second in the CCC in a preseason vote of the conference’s head coaches, received votes in the poll but did not crack the Top 25.
College of Idaho was rated 20th in the final poll of the 2009-10 season.
Northwestern College (Iowa) picked up 14 of 15 first-place votes and holds down the No. 1 spot in the ranking.
