Top teams hold strong in the NCAA DIII volleyball rankings this week. No. 1 La Verne (14-0), No. 2 East Texas Baptist (18-0), and No. 19 Virginia Wesleyan (19-0) spend their second week in a row as the only remaining undefeated teams in the top 25.

Virginia Wesleyan, as a result of its unblemished season, moved up three places this week. The Marlins earned three straight Old Dominion Athletic Conference wins (3-2, 3-0, 3-1) since the last poll.

Wisconsin-Eau Claire made a five-spot jump to No. 5 last week but has slid back to No. 8. The Blugolds lost their first game since week one to No. 10 Washington University in St. Louis (1-3). This shift moved Juniata, Emory, and Illinois Wesleyan each up a spot.

No. 15 Otterbein, formerly No. 18, and No. 18 Washington & Lee, formerly No. 15, switched places on the chart. They both are coming off losses, but their consistent play keeps them ranked.

As the season progresses, teams find their footing and play only improves. New surprises are on the horizon.
