NFCA National Poll
NCAA Regional Polls
The Mavericks climbed from sixth to fifth in the NCAA South Central Region poll released Wednesday. Also, for the first time since the preseason, the Mavericks earned a spot in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association national poll. Nebraska-Omaha rounded out the ranking with a No. 25 spot in the poll released Wednesday.
The Mavs have won 16 straight games to help them get back into the national ranking, including one over then-No. 4 Emporia State and a sweep against then-No. 23 Augustana. The streak helped UNO reenter the ranking after being left out of the last seven. The Mavericks entered the preseason ranked 12th but slipped out after starting the year 3-4.
The Hornets are the top MIAA team in the current national ranking, slipping to eighth. They're second in the region. Non-conference opponents Augustana moved to 12th nationally and Wayne State (Neb.), the team UNO swept Tuesday, entered the poll at No. 24.
The Mavericks are second in the MIAA at 9-2 behind Emporia State (12-0). UNO plays at Missouri Western on Friday at 3 p.m. and Saturday at Truman at 1 p.m.
