The Bethel Pilots dropped one spot to No. 5 in the relatively familiar NAIA Softball Coaches' Top 25 poll released by the national office on Tuesday. All 25 teams appeared in last week's poll with 17 of them changing positions this week.

The Pilots went 15 consecutive games without recording a loss until then-No. 19 Madonna ended the streak with a 2-6 win in the second game of a doubleheader on March 27. Bethel has since picked up where it left off winning their last four contests.

Marian University is also receiving votes in the poll with a 13-3 overall record.
