2024-25 NAIA Women's Basketball Coaches Top 25 Poll - No. 2 (November 27)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Dordt (Iowa) remains at No. 1 in the latest edition of the 2024-25 NAIA Women's Basketball Top 25 Poll. Teams voted in spots 2-6 remained in the same spot as the last poll. No other teams stayed at the same spot as the previous poll. Lewis-Clark State (Idaho) made the largest move up in the poll eight spots to No. 14. Benedictine (Kan.) and MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) moved into the Top 25 this 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 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter votes the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, 28 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”.
