Benedictine returned to the top 25 after a week among the others receiving votes and checked in at #24 for the second time in 2012. The Ravens are unbeaten over the last five matches since a season-opening loss and will look to make it six-straight without a defeat on Wednesday, September 19 against Briar Cliff (Iowa).

MidAmerica Nazarene is one of eight unbeaten teams in the top 25 and moved up two places to #8 after another week without a blemish. The Pioneers most recently added a 1-0 win over John Brown (Ark.) to their ledger on Tuesday evening to kick off a busy week that includes a home match against #15 Kansas Wesleyan on Thursday before visiting McPherson (Kan.) on Saturday afternoon.

Missouri Valley slipped two spots this week after posting a 1-1 mark last week. The Vikings bounced back from a 2-1 defeat at #9 Columbia by knocking off Park (Mo.) on Saturday by a 4-0 scoreline. Missouri Valley will hit the road for matches on Friday and Saturday at Oklahoma Baptist and Rogers State (Okla.), respectively.
