CU women's basketball ranked No. 1 for first time in history Top spot in National, NAIA Coaches Top 25 poll By Richard RoBards, CU sports information KANSAS CITY, Mo - For the first time in the history of the program, Campbellsville University Women's Basketball has earned the No. 1 spot in a NAIA poll. Campbellsville locked down the No. 1 spot in the preseason installment of the NAIA Division I Women's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 Poll, the national office announced Tuesday, October 27, 2015. "I'm so happy for our program to be voted preseason No. 1. I know first-hand how hard it is to get there," said coach Ginger Colvin. "We know that staying there will be even harder. "Our conference is really tough and even though it's really great to receive this vote from my peers in the coaching community, it does nothing for us on the floor." Defending national runner-up Campbellsville collected eight first-place votes and 219 points. The Lady Tigers, who prior to last year had never advanced beyond the quarterfinals of the national championship, are coming off a banner season that saw them ranked among the top five in every poll. In 2014-15, Campbellsville ended the year with a 33-4 record and was listed at No. 2 in the postseason poll and sat at No. 3 seven times during the 13 rating periods. Four other Mid-South Conference teams appear in the poll. Cumberland University is No. 12, Shawnee State (No. 16), Pikeville (No. 22) and Lindsey Wilson (RV). No. 2 Freed-Hardeman also received a first-place vote. The Lady Lions held the No. 1 ranking for 11-consecutive weeks last season and have been listed among the top five for 25-straight editions. Defending national champion Oklahoma City tumbled a poll-high six spots to No. 7. This is the lowest preseason mark for a team coming off a national title since the Stars were No. 10 in the 2012-13 preseason poll. No. 3 Vanguard (CA) and No. 10 Wayland Baptist (TX) highlight the positive movement within the poll. The Lions vaulted 13 places, while the Flying Queens jumped 12 spots from their postseason perch. Both programs made first-round exits at last season's national championship.>BR?>BR? Five newcomers joined the Top 25 this edition - No. 12 Cumberland (TN), No. 19 Lewis-Clark State (ID), No. 20 Martin Methodist (TN), No. 21 Xavier (LA) and No. 25 LSU Shreveport (LA). LSU Shreveport is ranked for the first time since Feb. 11, 2014, while the other five clubs were ranked at some point during the 2014-15 season. The poll is voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and the Association of Independent Institutions. The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place and so on through the list. The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low ratings) is removed and the team's ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot on which the (including discounted ballots) the teams appear.
