INDIANAPOLIS – Only three teams in the Midwest Region's top 10 stayed put in the latest NPI rankings through the final week of the regular season: No. 1 Ferris State, No.2 University of Indianapolis Greyhounds and  No. 6 Ashland. The Hounds bounced back Saturday afternoon to claim the top seed in the upcoming GLVC Tournament, sweeping Southwest Baptist after falling to Drury 0-3 on Friday night.

Missouri-St. Louis made the biggest move this week, falling two spots to No. 5. Grand Valley State and Rockhurst moved up to three and four, respectively, while Findlay made its top-10 debut.

The primary purpose of NPI is to compare teams within Division II for ranking and NCAA championship selection. Once automatic qualifiers are determined, remaining teams are considered for at-large selection based on NPI ranking until the championship field is filled. NPI may also play a role in championship seeding. Seeding and bracketing procedures vary by division and sport. Click/tap the links above for more information.

Rankings will now be updated daily until selections. The NCAA DII women's volleyball selection show is set to air on NCAA.com on Sunday, Nov. 15.
