Despite dropping an overtime contest last week to the top-ranked team in the Great Lakes region, the Missouri S&T women's basketball moved up one spot in the new regional rankings released Wednesday.
The Lady Miners trail only Drury and Hillsdale in the new rankings heading into Thursday night's contest with Quincy -- the region's seventh-ranked team -- at the Bullman Multi-Purpose Building. S&T is 16-4 on the season, with Drury sitting at 20-2 after its win at Rockhurst Tuesday and Hillsdale at 17-3.
Indianapolis, which was ahead of S&T last week, lost at Kentucky Wesleyan Thursday to fall to fourth in the region. Ferris State, Bellarmine, Quincy and Northern Kentucky are in spots five through eight, with Wisconsin-Parkside and Michigan Tech rounding out the top 10.
The Lady Miners and Quincy will tip off at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
Missouri S&T also received 11 votes in this week's WBCA/Division II national poll, earning the fourth-highest total for teams not in this week's Top 25.
