Concordia (Neb.) claimed the top spot in the rankings for the first time this season, followed by Northwestern (Iowa), Indiana Wesleyan, Eastern Oregon, and Corban. Eastern Oregon, with a impressive 15-1 record, was awarded 536 points in the ranking calculation. The Mountaineers suffered their only loss of the season to Northwest two weekends ago, before rebounding with three-set sweeps over Evergreen State, Walla Walla, and Lewis-Clark State College.
The ranking process involved a panel of head coaches from across the nation’s conferences, employing a rigorous point system based on individual team rankings. Teams earn points based on their rank, with 30 points for a first-place vote, decreasing incrementally to one point for the 30th place.
