KANSAS CITY, Mo. - All three Heart of America Athletic Conference teams saw their rankings change at least one place in this week's NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll on Tuesday afternoon.

Missouri Valley also advanced its positioning in this week's poll, climbing two placed to #11. The Vikings (10-3-1) are tied with Benedictine headed into the final week of the regular season, but start off with a non-conference match at Lindenwood (Mo.) on Tuesday evening.
