NYU, Illinois Wesleyan, Scranton and Bowdoin remain the only four undefeated teams in the Division after doing what they have done best this entire season: winning.

UW-Oshkosh women's basketball moved from No. 6 to No.5 after beating UW-Platteville 72-60 after losing against UW-River-Falls earlier in the week, 64-59.

Whitman faced no issues winning all three games last week over Linfield, Pacific Lutheran, and Puget Sound.

The Top 10 Is The Same, But The Order Changes

  • Aside from UW-Oshkosh and Whitman swapping places, every team was able to secure its spot in the top ten of the rankings, whether they picked up lopsided victories or squeezed a couple of close ones.
  • All ten teams are either currently undefeated or only have lost one game.
  • Even though the best four teams have not lost a game, NYU women's basketball continues to be unanimously voted the No. 1 team.
