Mid-Major: Navy Men, Miami Women Remain on Top

With the conference season getting into full steam the final-regular season CSCAA Mid-Major Division I Dual-Meet Rankings have been released.  Miami (OH)'s women and the Navy Midshipmen continue to lead the rankings which use lineups as submitted by each respective coaching staff.  Sixty-one women's and forty-one men's teams submitted entries.

The Redhawks continue to lead despite big point gains by second- and third-ranked Princeton and Harvard.  Princeton won their showdown with the Crimson in the annual H-Y-P Invite just a week ago. 

On the men's side Navy continues to lead following their 167-133 win over third-ranked Princeton.  The Tigers also fell to Harvard, though neither program updated their lineups in the latest polling period.  One more ranking will be released this season on March 7th following the last of the conference championships. 

The Mid-Major rankings use an objective point system to compare teams’ relative strength in a traditional dual meet lineup as submitted by participating teams.  The ranking is available to those institutions that a) are not members of a BCS conference or Mountain West Conference, or b) provide fewer than one-half of the allowable scholarships under the NCAA rules.  Teams must have submitted entries within the first two polling periods to be eligible for the final ranking.  Entries should be submitted to Randy Horner at Florida International University.
