Grand Island, Neb - The Victory Sports Network released their preseason NAIA Top 25. The VSN poll is compiled from information submitted from coaches in the NAIA as well as reports from the Victory Sports Network writers team. VSN's Owner Jason Dannelly then compiles the poll based on that information.

Topping the poll for the third season in a row are the Carroll College Fighting Saints followed by St. Francis IN, Georgetown, Sioux Falls, and McKendree rounding out the Top 5.

"Carroll lost 17 seniors from last year's squad, but after 4 straight national championships, you are number one until someone beats you," said Dannelly.

The Walsh Cavaliers find themselves at their highest preseason ranking ever at #6. Walsh has barley missed the playoffs in each of the last five seasons but with this year's team returning 16 starters, the Cavs will be loaded.
