2016 AVCA Week 7 poll: Millikin falls from top 25

As expected, last week’s top four teams remained the same in the AVCA Week 7 poll.

Unbeaten Calvin and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps are the top two teams, followed by third-ranked Wittenberg and fourth-ranked Southwestern. Defending national champion Cal Lutheran rounds out the top five.

Central and Midwest teams in the Week 7 top 25: No. 11 UW-Whitewater; No. 12 UW-Stevens Point; No. 13 UW-La Crosse; No. 16 Elmhurst; No. 17 Washington-St. Louis; No. 19 Northwestern; No. 22 UW-Oshkosh; No. 25 UW-Eau Claire.

Millikin dropped out of the top 25 after being ranked 23rd last week. Ohio Northern replaces the Big Blue this week at No. 24.

Central and Midwest teams receiving votes this week: Millikin; Chicago; Gustavus Adolphus; Illinois Wesleyan; Bethel; Luther; Augsburg; St. Thomas.
