The Lewis-Clark State College men’s basketball team jumped six spots in this week’s NAIA Top 25 poll, while the Warrior women’s team remained in the same spot. 

The Warrior men, who were ranked No. 19 last week, jumped six spots after defeating then-No. 9 Westminster last week for the second time this season. The Warriors, 16-6 overall, are now ranked No. 13, while Westminster, 16-4,  is now at No. 15. Fellow Frontier Conference members Rocky Mountain and Carroll received votes, but didn’t crack the Top 25. 

The Warrior women suffered their first league setback last week to Westminster, but the Warriors, 18-4 overall, hung on to the No. 10 spot, right behind No. 9 Azusa Pacific. Carroll stayed at No. 13 and is 19-3 overall, while Westminster climbed one spot to No. 23 with its win to improve to 18-6 overall.  Montana Western and Montana State-Northern also drew votes in the poll. 

Last week’s No. 1 teams, Mountain State University men and Union University women, remained as the unanimous No. 1 teams in the NAIA.
