NJCAA DIVISION I WOMEN'S BASKETBALL RANKINGS - WEEK 3


Hutchinson CC Sports Information

After suffering its first loss of the season, the Hutchinson Community College Women's Basketball team looks to hit the reset button heading into a short prep window for its next game on Tuesday.

The Blue Dragons landed just outside the Top 10 in the latest NJCAA Division I rankings, coming in at No.12 in the nation after being ranked fourth last week.

Hutchinson lost to Cloud County 75-65 on Saturday in its first true road trip this season. The Blue Dragon women are 7-1 overall, 1-1 in the Jayhawk Conference after defeating Independence 61-53 in the league opener last Wednesday.

The top three in the rankings remained the same – Trinity Valley reigning at the top, Northwest Florida State at No. 2, and Blinn College No. 3. The Blue Dragons and Casper had the largest dips in the rankings by falling eight spots each. Eastern Arizona and Indian River State entered the rankings after not being ranked the week prior.

Among the Jayhawk, Barton rose one spot from No. 16 to No. 15. Dodge City moved up three spots from No. 25 to No. 22.

The Blue Dragon women hit the road for a 5:30 p.m. tipoff Tuesday against the Pratt Beavers.
