• No. 25 Antelope Valley makes the CALPAC’s first appearance in the polls this season.

Who’s New?

No. 24 Texas A&M Texarkana – Texarkana makes the jump ahead of LSU Shreveport in the polls. The two top teams in the Red River Athletic Conference will face off, at the Dock (LSUS), on February 2nd.

No. 25 Antelope Valley (CA) – A program with some rich tradition, who has been hit hard by injuries and covid issues the past few seasons. Jordan Mast has his Pioneers finally back inside the Top 25 again!

Who’s Out?

LSU Shreveport – A team who hasn’t played consistent this season but is still a very dangerous team. They are just a half game out of 1st place in the RRAC and are a team that could certainly be back in the Top 25 before the end of the season!

Menlo (CA) – The GSAC changes each week, and a loss or two can take you from 2nd place to 5th in a hurry. Menlo has now lost 3 of its last 4 games and finds themselves in a tie for 5th place in the GSAC.

Biggest Movers

No. 15 Loyola (LA) – Up 7 spots from 22nd.

No. 10 Georgetown – Up 5 spots from 15th.

No. 5 Union – Up 4 spots from 9th.

No. 9 William Penn – Up 4 spots from 13th.

No. 13 Kansas Wesleyan – Up 4 spots from 17th.
