CU Women's Basketball 8th nationally in the pre-season poll Lindsey Wilson College also high in National Rankings, at No. 14. Two teams are only Kentucky schools in NAIA Top 25 Click on headline for full story, including NAIA Top 25 By Chris Megginson News from Campbellsville University Athletics CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Campbellsville University Women's basketball program will enter the 2011-12 season ranked eighth nationally and will face seven teams in the NAIA Top 25. "We knew we had a tough schedule," said Coach Ginger Colvin, "but we have a special group of girls and we want to play the best competition possible. It's exciting to see so many of our opponents in the pre-season Top 25." The Lady Tigers will meet No. 1 Azusa Pacific, No. 2 Union (TN.) University, No. 6 Bethel (TN.), No. 18 Columbia (MO) College twice, and No. 23 William Woods (MO) College. Two other Mid-South Conference schools, Shawnee State and Lindsey Wilson College, are ranked fourth and 14th, respectively. Additionally, MSC teams, University of the Cumberlands and Georgetown, received votes in the pre-season poll. Another opponent, Indiana Wesleyan, is ranked first in the Mid-Central College Conference of NAIA Division II. Defending national champion Azusa Pacific (CA) landed at No. 1 in the 2011-12 NAIA Division I Women's Basketball Coaches' Preseason Top 25 Poll, the national office announced Monday. The Cougars were awarded all 12 first-place votes for 312 points to earn their first-ever No. 1 ranking, dating back to the 1999-2000 season. Azusa Pacific's move to the top of the poll comes after winning the 2011 national championship in which the Cougars denied Union (TN.) its third-straight title, 65-59. Azusa Pacific also ends the Women Bulldogs' hold at No. 1, a streak that lasted 48-consecutive weeks dating back to Oct. 31, 2007. In addition to Azusa Pacific, a pair of teams that were listed among the top five in the final edition of the 2011 Division I Women's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 will start the season there. Union, who was ranked No. 1 to end 2011, is ranked second with 302 points. Oklahoma City was listed fourth in the final poll and advanced to the quarterfinals, checks in at No. 3 with 290 points. Shawnee State, which was responsible for dealing Oklahoma City the quarterfinal setback, racked up 280 points to start its 2011-12 campaign at No. 4 after being listed 24th in the final poll. The Bears fell to Union in the semifinals of their first Division I National Championship appearance after making 15 trips to the Division II National Championship, including a runner-up finish in 2010. Rounding out the top five with 266 points is No. 5 Lewis-Clark State (Idaho). The Warriors climbed as high as No. 3 during the 2010-11 season and were ranked 10th heading into their 15th National Championship appearance. Three squads that were unranked qualifiers for the 2011 National Championship have garnered Top-25 recognition: No. 21 Shorter (GA), No. 24 Rogers State (OK) and No. 25 Belhaven (MS). Shorter was ranked in six of the 12 polls last year and Rogers State landed on three of the polls during the 2009 - 10 season. Belhaven is making its debut among the Top 25 after a 24-9 campaign that earned the Blazers a spot in the National Championship field. Eleven of the 12 Division I women's basketball conferences and independents are represented throughout the Top 25, led by four squads from the Sooner Athletic Conference: Oklahoma City, No. 11 Southern Nazarene (OK), No. 17 Lubbock Christian (Texas) and Rogers State. Four leagues boasted three ranked teams. The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and independents. The first regular-season Top 25 poll will be announced on December. 1.
