Defending conference champion Baker slipped three spots, but remained in the top 10 as the Wildcats were ranked #9 this week. Baker bounced back from an overtime loss at #6 Oklahoma City to post a 5-1 win over Texas-Brownsville. The Wildcats will visit Park (Mo.) next Wednesday in Parkville at 5:00 p.m.

National tournament participant Graceland also maintained its place in the top 25 this week, climbing one spot to #16 in the polls. The Yellowjackets, who are 4-0 and averaging almost three goals per game, are on the road this Sunday to take on Missouri Western with kickoff scheduled for 4:00 p.m.

A pair of early-season wins over ranked teams has given Missouri Valley a number of votes to appear on the list of teams also receiving votes. The Vikings, who opened the season with a 1-0 win over #10-ranked Westmont (Calif.), knocked off Texas-Brownsville earlier on Tuesday and will be back in action next Wednesday, September 12 at Columbia (Mo.).
