Trappers Fall from Rankings
A 2-1 performance on the volleyball court wasn't enough to keep the Northwest College Trappers among the nation's top teams in the latest NJCAA volleyball poll. A 3-0 sweep at the hands of Western Wyoming dropped the squad back among the "others" in this week's poll.
For the second week, North Idaho remains atop the national poll, followed by Southern Idaho.
From around Region IX, Western Nebraska remains locked in at No. 4. Casper College begins a parade of three region schools at No. 18 this week. Laramie County follows at No. 19 with Northeastern sharing the No. 20 ranking this week with Wharton County.
