LCSC basketball teams keep same spots in polls

 2-28-07 

The Lewis-Clark State College women’s and men’s basketball teams rankings went unchanged this week in the final regular-season NAIA polls, which were released on Wednesday. 

The Warrior women stayed in the No. 2 spot for the eighth straight week behind No. 1 and undefeated Vanguard of California, which drew all 11 first-place votes. LCSC was unanimous in the No. 2 spot with the second-best record in the country. Fellow Frontier Conference member Montana-Western moved up one spot to No. 9, while Carroll fell four spots to No. 11. Montana-Western, the No. 2 finisher in the conference, was upset in the opening round of the conference tournament by Rocky Mountain 61-58 on Wednesday. 

On the men’s side, LCSC stayed at No. 16, despite its two wins last week. LCSC is the only Frontier Conference team ranked in the poll. 

Both the LCSC men and women open Frontier Conference tournament play on Wednesday night in Butte, Mont., as the top seeds. Both will play the No. 8 seed, Great Falls, in the opening round.
