NORFOLK, Va. – Both swimming & diving programs at the University of Indianapolis came in at No. 2 in the recent CSCAA NCAA Division II Top 25 poll. Both squads dropped out of the top spot from the November edition of the monthly poll.

On the women’s side, Colorado Mesa leapfrogged five spots to No. 1 this month after earning 10 of 12 first-place votes; UIndy collected the remaining two. The Hounds were followed in the rankings by GLVC-mates Drury (5) and McKendree (11).
