February 17, 2004

SEATTLE (Feb. 17) – There was virtually no movement in the NCAA Division II women’s basketball rankings this week, with Seattle Pacific University remaining No. 3 for the second week in a row.

The unbeaten Falcons (22-0) are behind No. 1 California (Pa.), the only other undefeated team, and Missouri’s Drury. In fact, the top five remain unchanged.

SPU takes a 37-game Great Northwest Athletic Conference win streak and 55-game regular season win streak into Thursday night’s game at Western Oregon. It has been more than two years (Feb. 7, 2002) since Seattle Pacific last lost on the road.

Below is the USA TODAY/ESPN/WBCA Top 25 women's basketball poll, with first-place votes in parentheses, total points based on 25 points for first place through one point for 25th.
