The Fort Hays State Lady Tigers have dropped out of this week’s WBCA/USA Today Division II women’s basketball poll. The Lady Tigers, who fell to No. 24 in last week’s rankings, are still receiving votes and are the third highest vote getter not ranked.
Emporia State, who lost for the first time at Northeastern State last week, drops one spot to No. 3. Central Missouri falls to 12th after a home loss to Lindenwood.
The Tigers host Emporia State on Thursday and Washburn Saturday.
