Pom’s Power Rankings

(RV) Valley City State- Were without their leading scorer and starting PG this past weekend. After having their win streak snapped by Bellevue, they will look to get their momentum back when they return home and have their full roster back this coming weekend.
Bellevue- A big victory over VCSU, they are starting to look like the team everyone thought they would be at the beginning of the season.
Mayville- Went 2-0 on the weekend, with two close road wins.
Viterbo– 1-1 on the week big road trip ahead
Dakota State-Still think this is the darkhorse in the conference
Dickinson– Need to find a win soon.
Waldorf– A team showing signs of improvement.
Presentation-Dropped a 2OT game to Waldorf, need to bounce back at home to stick with the rest of the conference.
