LOUISVILLE, Ky. — After claiming the doubleheader sweep over No. 21 University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse last weekend, the St. Catherine softball team moves to No. 19 in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division III Top 25 Poll.
The Wildcats, who have been receiving votes this season, have not been in the Top 25 rankings since June 2, 2017 when they received the No. 7 ranking in the final poll of 2017 season.
The NFCA Division III Top 25 Poll is selected by eight NCAA Division III head coaches representing the eight NCAA regions. Current records are listed, with first-place votes in parentheses. In 2021, schools that are not competing will not be eligible for the poll.
