Marian has won 15 consecutive games and used a doubleheader sweep over then-No. 3 Bethel on Saturday to join the conversation in the latest NAIA Softball Coaches' Top 25 poll. The Knights check in at No. 13 for their first appearance in the top 25 this season.

Sitting atop the MCC with an unblemished 13-0 league record, 35-4 overall, the Knights are the only new addition to the poll.

Bethel dropped the set to Marian and started the week with a loss at Spring Arbor to fall to 38-6-1, 10-4 MCC. After climbing to as high as No. 3 in the national rankings the Pilots drop to No. 14 and are this week's largest mover.

The regular season comes to a close this week with the tournament beginning on Tuesday, March 4. Visit the Championship Central page of this website for all of the tournament information.
