Also from the region are St. Mary’s who slipped to No. 14 and St. Edward’s who moved to No. 21.

Alabama-Huntsville tops the poll and received six of the eight first place votes, while Georgia College and State is second with ASU in third and receiving the other two first place votes.

Barry sits in fourth, Nebraska-Omaha in fifth, followed by Lock Haven, Grand Valley State, SOSU, UC-San Diego and Francis Marion to round out the top-10.
