For the second consecutive ranking, Arkansas Tech held a slim lead atop the Bushnell/Golfweek Division II Coaches Poll. The Wonder Boys claimed 12 first-place votes to top Barry, which received six first-place votes to land in second. That was an improvement for Barry, however, which hopped from fourth in last month’s poll to its spot directly behind Arkansas Tech.
Lynn stayed at No. 3 while West Florida dropped to fourth. Lincoln Memorial and Lee each moved up one spot to fifth and sixth, respectively.
