OLATHE, Kan. - Oklahoma Christian's 12 first place votes were enough to stay 12 points ahead of conference- and region-rival Oklahoma City in this week's NAIA Men's Golf Top 25, and Wayland Baptist (Texas) completed the top three sweep for Region VI by earning 265 points and landing at No. 3 this week.

Johnson & Wales (Fla.) made a three-spot jump into the top five at No. 4, while Point Loma Nazarene (Calif.) climbed a spot to No. 5 and Lee (Tenn.) moved to spaces to No. 6. British Columbia fell from No. 3 to No. 7 this week, while St. Ambrose dropped to No. 8. Malone (Ohio) and Northwood (Texas) round out the Top 10 after holding ground this week to keep their positions at No. 9 and 10.

One previously unranked squad climbed in this week, as Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) entered the Top 25 at No. 19.
