Concordia moves into top 10 in latest NAIA top 25 poll

The latest NAIA Division II Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Top 25 Poll was released on Monday.  Concordia University has moved all the way up to 9th in the poll. 

The Bulldogs were 22nd in the preseason poll, but an impressive 7-0 start to the season has pushed Concordia into the top 10.  The Great Plains Athletic Conference is well represented in the top 25, as Briar Cliff (2nd) and Hastings College (5th) join Concordia in the top 10.  Morningside College is 13th, while Northwestern College and Mount Marty College received votes in the poll. 

Concordia is 2-0 in conference play on the young season with wins over Mount Marty and Nebraska Wesleyan.  The Bulldogs will face some tough tests in the next couple of weeks.  Concordia travels to Midland University on Tuesday evening before returning home to host #13 Morningside College (Dec. 3) and #2 Briar Cliff University (Dec. 7).
