Receiving its highest ranking of the year, Saint Francis is flirting with top 10 company at No. 11. Extending its win streak to six games, the Cougars (15-9, 9-2) improved three spots and received the most votes of the season.
Joining USF with its season's best regards is Huntington, which raised five spots to No. 18. A four-game winning streak puts the Foresters (16-6, 7-3) in the top 20 in just their second appearance on the chart this year.
Despite a split last week the Knights of Marian University (15-9, 7-4) jumped one spot to No. 23. Appearing in their fourth consecutive poll, MU is at its highest ranking since debuting at No. 14.
