Feb. 28, 2007

OLATHE, Kan. - As it has throughout the 2006-07 season, Vanguard (Calif.) is the No. 1 ranked team in NAIA Division I Women's Basketball, sweeping all 11 first-place votes to stay 11 ratings points ahead of No. 2 Lewis-Clark State (Idaho).

In an unchanged Top six to the poll, No. 3 Saint Xavier (Ill.) follows the top two, trailed by No. 4 Lee (Tenn.), No. 5 Union (Tenn.), and No. 6 Lubbock Christian (Texas). Point Loma Nazarene (Calif.), Montana-Western, Trevecca Nazarene (Tenn.) and Cumberlands (Ky.) each moved up one spot to fill the Top 10.

The poll, which did not see a jump larger than two spots in its final week, did not see any new teams to the poll, as No. 25 Westmont (Calif.) held on by two points to edge the nearest team receiving votes, Xavier (La.).
