@MSUDenverVB: No. 8 Roadrunners On Region Ranking List

MSU Denver has the South Central's second-best RPI

INDIANAPOLIS – No surprise, but the MSU Denver volleyball team, ranked No. 8 in Division II, is among the 10 teams listed in the first NCAA Division II South Central Region rankings of the season.
 
For the first set of "rankings," the teams are listed in alphabetical order. Beginning next week, the teams' official ranking will be revealed.
 
The region rankings are eventually used to determine at-large qualifiers and seedings for the NCAA Division II Tournament.
 
Eight teams will qualify for the NCAA's South Central Regional, tournament champions from the Rocky Mountain Athletic and Lone Star Conferences as well as six at-large selections.
 
Among teams in the South Central Region, MSU Denver has the second-best ratings percentage index and second-best Division II strength of schedule, trailing only West Texas A&M in each category. Those two metrics are among several used by the regional ranking committee.
 
West Texas A&M, ranked No. 5 in Division II, beat MSU Denver in a five-set regular season match and would appear to have the inside track to hosting the regional tournament as the No. 1 seed.
