After losing three of their last four, the Fort Hays State Lady Tigers have dropped out of the latest USA Today/WBCA Division II women’s basketball poll. The Tigers were in the rankings for six straight weeks and reached as high as No. 10. It was the highest national ranking in school history and the longest stretch in the poll.
Washburn, Central Missouri and Pittsburg State are the only MIAA teams in this week’s rankings which you can see below.
