LEXINGTON, Ky. – The MoWest volleyball team remained ranked No. 10 in the latest American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA)/Taraflex Division II Women's Volleyball Coaches Poll, released Monday, Nov. 2.

The Griffons earned 726 points in this week's poll after posting a perfect 2-0 record over the weekend, improving to 21-3 overall and 9-1 in MIAA play. MoWest has now been ranked inside the national top 10 for the second consecutive week and has appeared in the top 25 in every poll this season.

MoWest extended its winning streak to five consecutive matches with a pair of straight-set victories inside the Looney Complex. The Griffons opened the weekend with a 3-0 victory (25-21, 25-11, 25-22) over Arkansas-Fort Smith on Friday before closing out the 2026 home schedule with a 3-0 win (25-10, 25-14, 25-23) over Northeastern State on Saturday.

The Griffons are one of five MIAA programs represented in this week's national top 25. Nebraska-Kearney leads the conference at No. 6, followed by MoWest at No. 10, Emporia State at No. 12, Washburn at No. 16 and Central Oklahoma at No. 24.
