SIOUX FALLS— The University of Sioux Falls Women's Basketball team, who sit at 18-3, 11-3 under head coach Travis Traphagen, made a slight drop in both the WBCA and D2SIDA poll released on Tuesday, this after splitting their home, Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) series against Upper Iowa and Winona State.

In the WBCA poll, the Cougars maintained a spot in the Top 15, falling from No. 11 to No. 15 in the latest installment with 208 points. Despite the drop, the Cougars became the highest ranked team from the Central Region with a 17-point Fort Hays State loss to Missouri Western on the road. Sioux Falls is also the sole team from the NSIC to receive votes in Tuesday's poll.

For the D2SIDA poll, the Cougars were voted down 10 spots, from No. 8 to No. 18, finishing the polls with 113 votes. As it was in the WBCA poll, the Cougars are the only NSIC team to receive votes. The only team ranked higher than the Cougars from the Central Region are the Central Missouri Jennies.

The Jennies usurped the Cougars from the top spot, albeit very narrowly, receiving only one more point more than USF.

The Cougars will look to start a new winning stream when they go on the road to Bemidji State and Minnesota Crookston this weekend.
