They’re still not ranked, but getting closer. Despite their current 11-game win streak and 12-1 record, the Fort Hays State women’s basketball team remains just outside the latest USA Today/WBCA Division II poll. The Lady Tigers received 88 votes this week and sit at No. 27 if you extend the poll.
Three teams from the MIAA are ranked this week with Emporia State still holding down the top spot and Pittsburg State fifth. Washburn drops from from No. 8 to 13th.
