About the NAIA Top 25 Rankings
Davenport stays at No. 7 in the NAIA Top 25 for the sixth consecutive week; however, the top five was shaken around for the second straight poll. Concordia (Ore.), who is the fourth team to claim the No. 1 ranking this season, sits atop the seventh regular-season edition with 16 first-place votes, marking the first time since Oct. 16, 2012 the Cavaliers took the top spot. Northwood (Fla.) leaped over Westmont (Calif.) for the No. 2 spot while Embry-Riddle (Ky.) moved into No. 4. Lindsey Wilson (Ky.), which was moved back into No. 1 in last week's poll, took a hit in the poll by falling to No. 5 after losing to then-No. 11 Cumberland last week. Vanguard (Calif.) continues to sit in front of the Panthers at No. 6.
 
Scouting Cornerstone – 9-4-1, 4-1-1 WHAC – Head coach Randy Strawser
The Golden Eagles are coming off having escaped with a 1-0 overtime victory at Marygrove last Saturday. Cornerstone had many chances to get on the board during regulation but couldn't capitalize. Amanda Schutter was the hero for the Golden Eagles as her goal in the 99th minute was the difference in the match. Lexie Brisson-Fast has been leading the Cornerstone program with nine goals and three assists for 21 points. Behind her is Josie Litty with 13 points (five goals, three assists). Three Golden Eagles have been sharing goalkeeping duties this year: Hayley Mohr, Megan Lamb and Allison Snowden. Lamb has logged in the most minutes at 621:32, compiling a 5-1-0 record and a 0.43 goals-against average.
 
Scouting Northwestern Ohio – 10-5-0, 4-2-0 WHAC – Head coach Stuart Gore
The Racers have been impressive in their first season as a program, going 9-5 overall and 3-2 in the WHAC. UNOH is coming off having shut out second-place Aquinas 3-0 in Grand Rapids. Frida Bremer took home the WHAC Offensive Player of the Week Monday after netting a hat trick at the Saints. Sarah Huchet, who has started and appeared in all but two of the 15 matches played this season, paces the Racers with 16 goals and nine assists for 41 points. Not that far behind her in the points department are Taryn Pardoe (11 goals, 16 assists, 38 points) and Bremer (14 goals, seven assists, 35 points). Nadie Stonjek has been the Racers keeper this season, going 8-4-0 with a 1.35 GAA in 1003:13 of work.
