The Fort Hays State women's basketball team moved up in both national polls this week, climbing to No. 9 in the WBCA Division II Coaches Poll and moving up 11 spots to No. 14 in the D2SIDA Media Poll, both released Tuesday (Feb. 9).
This is the sixth season overall and the third year in a row that the Tigers have been ranked in the top 10 in the coaches rankings. The Tigers were last ranked No. 9 on December 4, 2019. FHSU is 3-1 all-time when ranked ninth in the coaches poll.
The Tigers are the top-ranked MIAA program in both polls. Nebraska-Kearney is 13th in the coaches poll and 15th in the media ranks, while Central Missouri is 20th in the coaches top 25 and 22nd according to the media. Emporia State entered the coaches poll at No. 25 this week.
Now 14-2 on the season and tied for first place in the MIAA standings, Fort Hays State will look to stretch its winning streak to 10 games Thursday when the Tigers take on Rogers State on the road beginning at 5:30 p.m.
