The women are coming off a 2nd place finish, only 13 points behind current number 13 ranked Indiana Wesleyan. The Men also joined the poll for the first time coming in 35th. The men are coming off a 3rd place finish only 9 points behind current number 30 Marian and besting number 34 Indiana Wesleyan by a wide margin. 

Both teams will be training until their much anticipated trip to the NAIA great lakes challenge.
