KANSAS CITY, Mo. - OUAZ (Ariz.) was ranked at No. 1 throughout the 2025 NAIA Beach Volleyball season, and the Spirit have now been voted as the No. 1 team in the Top 10 Postseason Poll after winning their first invitational title last week.  

Poll Methodology:

• The poll is for publicity purposes only and has no weight or bearing in the selection process for national championship field consideration.
• A panel of head coaches representing each conference and Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) voted on the poll.
  • The Top 10 is determined by a points system based on how each voter votes the best teams. A team receives 15 points for each first-place vote, 14 for second-place, 13 for third-place and so on through the list.
• The highest and lowest vote for each team (a non-vote is considered a low vote) is removed.
• Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”.

Receiving Votes: Hope International (Calif.) 19, Loyola (La.) 16, Wayland Baptist (Texas) 11, Benedictine Mesa (Ariz.) 7, William Carey (Miss.) 3
