TOP TEN RECAP:

After the first month of NCBA Division III competition, Loyola-Chicago (10-3, 7-1 District IV South) remains the number one team in the country. However, Dickinson (5-1,  4-0 District I West) is right on their heels as only a few points separate the top two teams in the poll. Gardner Webb (4-0, 4-0) made the biggest jump in the Week 15 Top Ten, going from unranked to No. 5. The Bulldogs swept both of their NCBA series to take the early lead in the District II South as they look to be strong contenders.

Fifteen different teams received votes as teams look to start establishing themselves as World Series contenders. Be sure to keep an eye on top teams like Dickinson, Rowan, Robert Morris, and Cleveland State as they head down to Panama City Beach for big non-conference games in the NCBA Swing into Spring event!
