Women's Tennis Holds at No. 22 in NAIA Top 25 Coaches Poll

LEBANON, Tenn. - - The Cumberland women's tennis team stayed put at No. 22 in the most recent NAIA Women's Tennis Coaches Top 25, as was announced by the league office this morning.

The Phoenix are 2-1 since the last poll where they jumped from No. 23 up to No. 22, taking wins from Indiana Wesleyan and Campbellsville. Wesleyan have since climbed to No. 20, marking the Phoenix's second ranked win of the season.

Following that win, the Phoenix pounced on the Campbellsville Tigers, winning 5-2 in their home and conference opener. Cumberland's only loss in that period came to the hands of the University of the Cumberlands on Monday, as the No. 13 Patriots took down the Phoenix 6-1 in Williamsburg.

Louisiana Christian made the most significant upward movement in the third installment of the 2026 NAIA Women's Tennis Coaches' Top 25 Poll, climbing to No. 15 from No. 18 in a poll that saw little movement since the last edition, in February. No. 1 through No. 7 stayed the same, as Keiser (Fla.) claimed all 12 first-place votes to remain atop the poll.

One team moved into the poll, Texas A&M-Texarkana, at No. 25, and there's one tie, between Georgia Gwinnett and Our Lady of the Lake (Texas), at No. 16. The next poll is scheduled for March 25.

Cumberland will continue conference action on Saturday, taking on the Bethel Wildcats at 12:00 PM.
