Women’s Basketball Receiving Votes in Latest WBCA Poll

FHSU Sports Information Department
LILBURN, Georgia – After defeating the top-ranked team in the country to wrap up a perfect 2-0 week, the Fort Hays State women’s basketball team was listed in the receiving votes category of the newly-updated WBCA Division II Top 25 Coaches’ Poll, released Tuesday afternoon (Dec. 13) by the organization.
The Tigers picked up two crucial victories over in-state rivals last week, impressing enough coaches to put them back on the ballot. FHSU received a total of five points in the balloting process.

It was the second time FHSU has been mentioned in the poll after being ranked 25th following a 6-0 start to the season.

Two other MIAA schools join the Tigers in the poll, with Pittsburg State climbing one spot to third and Emporia State falling to fifth. This is the final poll the WBCA will release before the holiday break.

The Tigers will continue their seven-game home stand Wednesday (Dec. 14) when they host Tabor College at 5:30 p.m.

Below is the WBCA Division II Top 25 Coaches’ Poll for December 13, 2016.
