RRAC teams included in first NAIA Women's Tennis Coaches' Top 25 Poll

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Feb. 12, 2026) – The RRAC is proud to feature five team members in the first regular-season NAIA Women's Tennis Coaches' Top 25 Poll released on Feb. 11.
 
Xavier (La.) moved up from ninth in the preseason poll to seventh after receiving 223 points. LSU Alexandria stayed at its preseason poll ranking of 10th with 197 points. Our Lady of the Lake (Texas) also replicated its preseason ranking of 17th with 132 points, as did Louisiana Christian at 18th after receiving 117 points. LSU Shreveport dropped one place from the preseason's 24th place to a 25th ranking. Texas A&M-Texarkana received two votes in this season's first poll.
 
The next NAIA women's tennis poll is slated for Feb. 25.
 
Poll Methodology
  • The national poll is for publicity purposes only and does not influence the selection process for national championship consideration.
  • A panel of head coaches representing each conference and the Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) votes in the poll.
  • The Top 25 teams are selected using a points-based system:
    • 30 points for a 1st-place vote, 29 for 2nd, 28 for 3rd, and so on.
  • The highest and lowest rankings received by each team are discarded before final tallying.
  • Teams receiving only one point are not listed as "receiving votes."
  • For the Preseason Poll, there is no "previous ranking" column since it is the initial poll and differs from the prior rating system.

The Gold Nuggets are ranked eighth in the ITA NAIA Women's Poll that was released today (Feb. 12), while the Generals are 12th, the Wildcats are 15th, the Saints are 17th, and the Pilots are 22nd.

The next ITA women's tennis team poll is slated for Feb. 26.
