Bergen (NJ) CC, Harper (IL) College, SUNY Delhi, and Gloucester (NJ) County College trail the Pioneers in the national poll.

The women also have had a fast start finishing 3rd at the HCC Dragon Invitational out of eight teams and winning the ASC Quad this past Friday. 

Mohawk Valley CC leads the women's poll followed by Kingsborough CC, ASC, Erie CC, and Gloucester County College.

Both the men and women will look to continue their success this weekend when they travel to the University of Rochester Invitational.  Action is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and will feature mostly NCAA Division III competition.
