OLATHE, Kan. - Oklahoma City earned 10 first-place votes to hold its No. 1 spot in the NAIA Women's Golf Top 25 Coaches' Poll, edging out Embry-Riddle (Fla.), Lindsey Wilson (Ky.), Southern Nazarene (Okla.) and British Columbia in an unchanged top five to the poll.

Berry (Ga.) and California State-San Marcos remained in place at No.'s 6 and 7, while Savannah Art & Design (Ga.) moved to No. 8 from No. 9. The Top 10 rounds out with a tie for the ninth position between Bethel (Ind.) and Concordia (Ore.).

The poll's largest leap went to Northwood (Texas), moving from No. 21 to No. 17, as well as Victoria (B.C.) (No. 25 to No. 20), while the Top 25 did remain in tact despite losing one from last week, as Waldorf (Iowa) fell out of a No. 25 tie.
