The top four teams in the Oracle ITA Division II Women’s Team Rankings remained the same, but the bottom half of the top 10 saw plenty of change. Teams ranking from No. 5 to No. 11 shifted with every team moving at least one spot up or down. The largest increase within the top 10 belongs to Azuza Pacific (prev. No. 9) The Cougars are on a five match win streak with their most recent win being a shutout of Hawaii Pacific (prev. No. 7).
The Sharks fell out of the top 10 this week after dropping the match to Azuza Pacific. Lynn joins HPU this week for the biggest drop. Moving down four spots to No. 9, the Fighting Knights will look to bounce back from their loss to Saint Leo (prev. No. 10) last Friday.
No. 24 Academy of Art University enters the rankings this week. The Urban Knights outlasted Fresno Pacific (prev. No. 24) on Saturday to notch their fourth win on the season.
