University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball held its ranking at No. 3 in the latest NCAA II Midwest Region Rankings.
The Screaming Eagles (23-2, 15-1 GLVC) have posted a 21-2 record against NCAA Division II teams as well as a 21-2 regional record. They trail top-ranked Ashland University and No. 5 Drury University in the regional rankings.
There were no changes among the top eight teams in this week’s ranking as Michigan Tech University and Grand Valley State University continued to round out the top five teams. Cedarville University and Lewis University are sixth and seventh, respectively, while Ursuline College held its ground at No. 8. The only change came at No. 9, where Wayne State University debuted, while The University of Findlay slid a spot to No. 10.
USI, which is ranked No. 9 in Division II Media Poll and No. 14 by the WBCA, has posted a 3-1 mark against teams in the top 10 of the latest Midwest Region ranking this season. It is 21-1 overall against the Midwest Region in 2017-18.
The Eagles look to clinch their second straight Great Lakes Valley Conference East Division title Thursday at 5:30 p.m. when they travel to Somers, Wisconsin, to take on the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. USI, which has won a GLVC-best 12 games, can also clinch the East Division with a win Saturday at Lewis University and could earn the top seed in next week’s GLVC Tournament with a pair of wins.
