1-23-08

The Lewis-Clark State College men’s basketball team jumped four spots in the NAIA Division I basketball poll, while the Warrior women remained at the position as last week, according to the two polls released on Wednesday. 

The Warrior men, riding an eight-game win streak, moved from No. 23 to No. 19 in this week’s poll. Westminster, which LCSC defeated on the road this season, climbed two spots to No. 11. Westminster is 14-3 on the season, while LCSC is 14-5. Fellow Frontier Conference members Rocky Mountain and Montana State University-Northern also received votes. 

On the women’s side, the Warriors stayed at No. 13 despite winning two games on the road to stretch their win streak to seven. The Warriors are 16-3 overall and face a big showdown on Saturday night against Carroll College, which climbed one spot to No. 11. Carroll is 16-2 overall, but trails LCSC by one game in the conference standings. 

Montana Western and MSU-Northern women also received votes in the poll. 

The Warriors resume action on Thursday night, playing host to Rocky Mountain at the LCSC Activity Center. The women’s game is at 6 p.m., followed by the men at 8 p.m.
