The results of the first CSCAA Division II Poll are in. Queens University of Charlotte has taken the number one spot for both the men and women.
The lady Royals were voted number two behind Drury in the preseason poll but due to their performances in their first few meets, they were bumped up to the number one spot. The men rightfully held their #1 spot after the first month of the season.
The poll aims to measure the top teams in head-to-head competition.
The rankings are voted on by CSCAA-member coaches and the next poll is scheduled for release on December 19th.
