2021 AVCA Week 10 poll: JHU remains team to beat

Johns Hopkins enters the NCAA postseason as the No. 1 team in the AVCA Week 10 poll. The reigning champion Blue Jays, who have won a DIII record 64 straight matches and were back to full strength at the Centennial tourney, are followed in the poll by No. 2 Trinity (Texas), No. 3 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, No. 4 Wartburg and No. 5 Calvin.

Other Region VIII/IX region teams in the Week 10 top 25: No. 8 Wisconsin-Eau Claire; No. 9 Wisconsin-Whitewater; No. 15 Northwestern; No. 19 Gustavus Adolphus; No. 20 Chicago; No. 21 Bethel; No. 22 Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

Region VIII/IX teams receiving votes this week: Aurora; Cornell; Coe.

My Week 10 top 10 had the same top 10 teams as the AVCA but in a slightly different order.
