WINONA LAKE – The Grace College women’s basketball team landed in the “Receiving Votes” section of Tuesday’s NAIA Top 25 Coaches’ Poll.

The poll is Grace’s first appearance in the NAIA poll since the 2014-15 Preseason Poll.

The Lady Lancers are off to their best Crossroads League start in program history. Grace is currently in third in the competitive league with a 7-3 mark and 12-10 overall.

Grace is on the road twice this week, playing at Mt. Vernon Nazarene on Wednesday at 6 p.m. and at Goshen on Saturday at 3 p.m.

The Crossroads League has three teams, including Grace, in the poll. The defending NAIA champion Marian is No. 5 and Indiana Wesleyan dropped down to No. 17 after losing to Grace last week.
