April 8, 2009Central climbs eight spots in polls
PELLA—Central College has vaulted to sixth in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association’s top 25 Division III softball poll. Unranked in the preseason, Central (21-3) was 14th in last week’s poll. The Dutch even received one of the eight first-place votes. Louisiana College (22-4) took over at No. 1 while last week’s leader, Texas-Tyler (23-3) slipped to No. 5.
Iowa Conference rival Luther College (18-2) climbed from No. 17 to No. 13 and Wartburg College (25-3) jumped 10 spots to No. 15. Washington-St. Louis (Mo.) (15-8), which was tied for No. 4 last week before being swept in a doubleheader at Central Friday, tumbled to No. 25. Defending champion Wis.-Eau Claire (17-4), which split two games with Central in Arizona last month, is at No. 7.
Central travels to Indianola Friday for a 4 p.m. conference doubleheader at Simpson College, then travels to the Univ. of Dubuque for a Saturday twinbill at 2 p.m.
