KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The University of Saint Francis (Ind.) women's basketball team moved up five spots to No. 13 in this week's 2024-25 NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll.

2024-25 NAIA Women's Basketball Coaches Top 25 Poll - No. 2

Teams voted in spots 2-6 remained in the same spot as the last poll. No other teams stayed at the same spot as the previous poll. Lewis-Clark State (Idaho) made the largest move up in the poll eight spots to No. 14. Benedictine (Kan.) and MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) moved into the Top 25 this week. 

A panel of head coaches representing each conference and Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) voted on the poll. The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter votes for the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, 28 for third-place and so on through the list.

Saint Francis is off to a 9-0 start to the season and will host Taylor University as the Cougars continue Crossroads League play on December 4.
