DALLAS (NCBWA) – Colorado Mesa picked up 11 first-place votes to solidify its perch atop the ranking and the top eight teams remained the same in this week's National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division II Top 25.

The Mavericks, who captured the top spot in last week's national ranking by a single point, went 3-1 on the baseball diamond last week on the way to a home series win over Colorado Christian. Newberry (No. 9 ) made the biggest move of any of the top 25 teams this week when it jumped seven spots and into the top 10 for the first time with a road series sweep of Wingate.

Three new teams entered the ranking this week, including Lubbock Christian (No. 23) who makes its first NCBWA Top 25 appearance since the 2018 preseason poll. Mount Olive (No. 24) re-enters the listing after a one-week absence, while Millersville (No. 25) returns for the first time since being ranked among the top 10 (No. 9) in the preseason poll.
