Fort Hays State Women’s Basketball moved up to No. 9 in the latest WBCA Division II Poll, released on Tuesday (Feb. 23). The Tigers move up one spot from last week, continuing their season-long run in the top 10 of the WBCA Poll.<\/p>\n

The Tigers benefitted from a loss by West Texas A&M to move up a spot in the poll. WTAMU was No. 9 in the poll last week, but suffered its third loss of the season.<\/p>\n

Fort Hays State joins Missouri Western as MIAA schools in the top 10 of the poll. The Griffons hold steady at No. 7 in the latest poll. Pittsburg State and Emporia State also remained in the same position in the poll, PSU at No. 19 and ESU at No. 22.<\/p>\n

The Tigers go on the road for the final week of the regular season. The Tigers play at Northeastern State on Thursday and Central Oklahoma on Saturday. FHSU is only a game back of Missouri Western for first place in the MIAA, while Pittsburg State is lurking only a half game back of FHSU in third place with one game to play.<\/p>\n

Below is the WBCA Division II Poll for February 23, 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
