Warriors Climb the Polls
Women move up four slots from
previous rating
1-11-06
Lewiston,
ID- Following a huge win on the
road last week against then #2 Nationally
ranked Carroll College by a score of 60-48,
and two night’s later claiming an overtime
victory at Billings, MT against Ricky Mt.
College, it comes as no surprise that the
Warriors have climbed the polls in the most
recent NAIA rating. L-C (15-2) finds
themselves considered by the NAIA raters
across the country as the 13th
best team in the nation.
Like the week prior, unfortunately, is the
shocking news with teams who continue to
receive more votes than the Warriors. Azusa
Pacific, whom L-C defeated on the road
November 25 by a score of 95-90, currently
sits four slots higher than the Warriors, at
#9. As for L-C’s conference rival
UM-Western, who is now ranked #6, they lost
to Westmont College back on November 10th
by a score of 52-66. Just so happens to be
the same Westmont College team the Warrior
women defeated on the road by a score 79-74
on November 26.
Regardless of the Warriors national respect,
or lack there of, L-C will be challenged
throughout the course of the Conference
schedule, as five Frontier teams are either
ranked or have received votes in the latest
poll.
L-C travels to Salt Lake City this Saturday
as they take on Westminster College. Game
time is set for 5 p.m. PST.
Complete NAIA ratings are listed below.

In comparison to the NAIA ratings, their’s a
sight online called Massey’s Ratings, a
non-affiliated NCAA or NAIA site who’s
formulated an overall power ranking. Through the
multiple aspects taken into consideration, the
L-C women, according the Massey site, are the 2nd
best team in the nation. To find out more on
