OLATHE, Kan. - California Baptist grabbed 12 first place votes to stay 11 first-place nods and 16 voting points ahead of No. 2 Oklahoma City, who earned one first-place consideration in this week's Top 25 poll.
While the top five remained unchanged, St. Gregory's (Okla.), Savannah Art & Design (Ga.), and Houston Baptist (Texas) all moved up in the Top 10's second half. Vanguard (Calif.) climbed into the Top 10 at No. 10, while Trevecca Nazarene (Tenn.) exited, falling from No. 6 to No. 12.
Two new teams made their way into the rating, as Waldorf (Iowa) moved into a No. 17 tie with Tiffin (Ohio) and Rogers State (Okla.) checked in at No. 22 after being unranked last week.
