Coker and Carson-Newman Remain in Top 25

ROCK HILL, S.C. (TheSAC.com) -- The WBCA and D2CSC National Women's Basketball Polls were released this afternoon and the South Atlantic Conference boasts two nationally ranked programs.

They jumped one spot in the WBCA poll and are up four spots in the D2CSC. Coker had just one game last week, defeating Lincoln Memorial 62-55 on the road to improve to 13-1 overall and a league-best 9-1 in conference play.
