Despite their 13-game win streak and 14-1 record, the Fort Hays State women’s basketball team is unable to crack into the latest USA TODAY/WBCA Division II Top-25 poll. The Tigers pick up 35 more votes and are the highest vote getter not in the top-25.
Emporia State drops from the top spot following their first loss of the season and is ranked third. Pittsburg State moves up three to No. 2. Washburn, who has three losses on the year, drop to No. 18.
