D-II Poll: Johnnies the Last Hope?
ATLANTA – St. Thomas has owned the Under Armour MCLA Division II weekly poll since its inception this spring. Can the Tommies’ biggest rival change that?
We’ll find out on Friday when No. 7 St. John’s travels to St. Paul for an 8 p.m. grudge match.
Following top-ranked St. Thomas is a familiar crew as Concordia-Irvine, Grand Valley State, North Dakota State and Sierra Nevada fill out the two-through-five slots just like last week.
Louisiana rejoined the Top 25 this week, bouncing Fort Lewis. Bridgewater State achieved its highest ranking in program history at No. 9.
