The Sharks lead the way with 245 points, just three ahead of Tampa.

(Fourth-place West Florida has made the jump to Division I).<\/p>\n<p>On the men\u2019s side, Drury\u2019s 243 points is enough to give it the top spot in the poll, two ahead of Tampa. The Spartans, however, were 13.5 points up in the final standings at the NCAA Championships last year.<\/p>\n<p>Indianapolis is third, followed by Colorado Mesa and Wingate. CMU was third at NCAAs last year ahead of UIndy, while Wingate was seventh.<\/p>\n<p>The rankings are voted on by committees of Division II coaches representing a cross-section of programs and conferences throughout the country. Poll committee members evaluate teams based on head-to-head performances, nationally ranked performances, significant performances achieved since the previous poll, results from invitational and championship-style competition, and the quality and depth of performances across events.<\/p>\n<h4>CSCAA Division II Women\u2019s Poll<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rank Team, Points<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>1.
