2016 AVCA Week 2 poll: SCIAC home to top 2 teams

Defending champion Cal Lutheran solidified its position atop the rankings by garnering 48 of 49 first-place votes in the AVCA Week 2 poll.

The Regals were followed in the poll by fellow unbeaten teams Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in second, Calvin in third and Colorado College in fourth. Someone actually had Juniata, which by all accounts is no longer unbeaten, first on a ballot as the Eagles rounded out the top five.

Central and Midwest region teams in this week’s top 25: No. 10 UW-Stevens Point; No. 12 Bethel; No. 16 UW-Whitewater; No. 17 Illinois Wesleyan; No. 18 UW-La Crosse (divided by 2, maybe); No. 19 Washington-St. Louis (of course); No. 22 Elmhurst; No. 23 UW-Oshkosh; No. 24 Millikin; No. 25 Northwestern.

Central and Midwest teams receiving votes this week: Carthage; Gustavus Adolphus; UW-Eau Claire; Wartburg; Saint Benedict.
