KANSAS CITY, Mo.- The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) released the 4th Volleyball Coaches Top 25 Rating of the season, and the Orediggers are sitting at No.10.

After going 3-1 since the last rating, Montana Tech has dropped one spot in the national poll. The Orediggers were far from the only mover in the poll. Out of the entire top 25, only five programs did not move from the previous poll. The primary 'non-mover' is Concordia (Neb.) which remains at No. 1, and stacked up all 21 first-place votes.

Indiana Wesleyan hopped from No. 3 up to No.2, and Eastern Oregon moved from No. 4 up to a tie for No. 3. With the previous No. 2, Northwestern (Iowa). Rounding out the top five is Viterbo (Wis.)

Montana Tech is the only Frontier School that is in the top 25, but several Frontier schools are receiving votes. Montana Western, Providence, and Rocky Mountain all are receiving votes, but just not enough to crack that top 25.

On Friday, October 13^th, they will play Grand View Univ. at 1 pm, followed by #18 Bellevue Univ. at 6 pm.
