OLATHE, Kan. - Oklahoma City earned all 12 first-place votes to move past Oklahoma Christian in the NAIA Men's Golf Top 25 Coaches' Poll, days after the Stars dispatched the Eagles in the Region VI tournament in Edmond, Okla.

Region VI continued to sweep the top three spots in the poll, as Wayland Baptist (Texas) remained No. 3 this week, while Johnson & Wales (Fla.) remained No. 4 and British Columbia moved from No. 7 to No. 5 to complete the first half of the Top 10. The second half begins with No. 6 St. Ambrose (Iowa), followed by Point Loma Nazarene (Calif.), Lee (Tenn.), Texas Wesleyan and Northwood (Texas).

Two previously unranked squads made their way into the Top 25 this week, starting with California Baptist at No. 20 and Midland Lutheran at No. 25.
