SHAWNEE – Oklahoma Baptist received three votes in the NCFA DII Top 25 Coaches Poll released on Tuesday afternoon. It is the first time the program has been mentioned in the National discussion since it officially began NCAA competiton in 2018.
OBU joins the company of two other Great American Conference members in this week's poll, Harding and Southern Arkansas. The Muleriders are the No. 6 ranked team in the land, while the Bisons tallied 17 votes.
This honor comes on the heels of a three-game series with HU, in which the Bison fell two games to one after a 12-inning 1-0 thriller on Sunday afternoon.
OBU has faced two nationally ranked opponents in Washburn and Texas A&M Kingsville this season. The Bison blanked the then-ranked No. 6 Javelinas 6-0 in the season's opening week before falling 3-2 to the No. 21 Ichabods after an extra inning at the Emporia State Classic.
Oklahoma Baptist, off to its best start in the DII era with a 14-4 overall record, looks to build upon its success this weekend at home versus Northwestern Oklahoma State.
