4-16-08

The Lewis-Clark State College men’s tennis team remained at No. 18, while the women’s team fell three spots to No. 22 in the latest NAIA polls, which were released on Wednesday. 

The Warrior men, 12-10 overall, drew 86 points to remain in the same position. Auburn University Montgomery dropped its first match of the season, but remained in the top spot, while Fresno Pacific took over the No. 2 position. Embry Riddle was ranked No. 3, followed by Azusa Pacific at No. 4 and California Baptist at No. 5. 

On the women’s side, LCSC fell from No. 19 to No. 22 despite being idle last week. The Warrior women close out their regular season on Saturday against both Eastern Washington and Idaho in Moscow. 

Auburn Montgomery also held the No. 1 spot in the women’s poll, followed by Fresno Pacific, Azusa Pacific, Lindsey Wilson, and Vanguard. 

Both LCSC teams are the only Region 1 teams to be ranked. The highest ranked team in each region earns a berth to the NAIA national tournament in Alabama in mid May.
