Playing just one match last week, the Hutchinson Community College Volleyball team moved up one spot in the national rankings on Monday.

The Blue Dragons moved up to No. 16 in the latest NJCAA Division I National Volleyball Rankings. This is the fourth-straight week the Blue Dragons have been ranked.

Hutchinson's only action last week was a 3-1 Jayhawk West road victory at Colby last Wednesday. That victory improved the Blue Dragons to 16-5 overall and 4-1 in the Jayhawk Conference.

The Blue Dragons play five matches this week with a home conference match against Garden City at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at the Sports Arena. Hutchinson plays host to the Blue Dragon Classic on Friday and Saturday at the Sports Arena.

Florida Southwestern remains undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the latest rankings. Indian Hills, Scot and Salt Lake remain Nos. 2, 3 and 4. Miami-Dade moves up to No. 5.

Seward County remains the highest-ranked Jayhawk Conference team at No. 12. Hutchinson is the only other KJCCC ranked in the Top 20, but Butler is receiving votes.
