In the West Division, Drury, Rockhurst, and Southwest Baptist are the top three teams, with Drury and Rockhurst each receiving two first-place votes and Southwest Baptist earning one.
UIS will face its GLVC slate in April, with two matches on the road and the final three at home. Last season, the Prairie Stars qualified for the GLVC tournament, earning the third seed from the East Division.
