The Viking Men received 54 points, finishing behind Purdue Fort Wayne in fourth and just ahead of Youngstown State in sixth. Wright State received all but one first-place vote and finished number one overall.

The CSU Women received 30 points in preseason voting, finishing just ahead of Purdue Fort Wayne in sixth. Youngstown State received four of eight first-place votes from the women’s side to place first overall.

The men begin their spring program Monday, Feb. 20, at Wexford Intercollegiate in Hilton Head, SC. The schedule ends with the Horizon League Championship Tournament, which will be held on April 24-25 for both teams.
