The Lewis-Clark State College men’s golf team jumped into Golf World’s third Men’s NAIA College Coaches’ Poll of the fall by making its debut at No. 16.

The Warrior men have had an impressive fall and lead the conference standings by 21 strokes heading into the three conference tournaments in the spring.

The rankings combined the resources of Golf World magazine, Nike Golf, and the Golf Coaches Association of America. The women’s rankings do not include an NAIA poll.

The University of British Columbia continues to lead the poll and received eight of the nine-first place votes.

The Top 25 rankings put out by the NAIA won’t start until December.
