Along with the recent wins, the two teams have been making some noise in the NAIA National Poll Rankings!
The Lady Comets entered the rankings at #16 in the first poll, and have held onto #23 in the last two polls. They are also leading in top ten in a host of statistical categories, such as steals, 3’s/game, and more. Leading scorer for the team is Andi Gayner, who is averaging 19 points/game this season, ranking her #15 individually in the NAIA D-II.
For the first time since the historic 2006-07 season, the Comet Men have re-entered the national ranks this week, this time debuting at #22! The 13-3 overall record is standing out well, and the 6-1 record in the NSAA so far is also making others take notice. They are also near the top of the pack in Total Rebounds/Game (43, #4) and their stingy defense is only allowing 68 points/game, ranking them at #6. Sharp-shooter Daniel Lindgren is leading the team with a 15 points/game average, along with rebounding force Eric Staebler who is averaging over 7 boards/game.
