INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The second of three NCAA Division II Volleyball Regional Rankings has been released with Winona State University remaining at No. 10 in the Central Region.

The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) has six of the 10 teams ranked in the Central: No. 2 Minnesota Duluth, No. 3 Concordia-St. Paul, No. 4 Northern State, No. 5 St. Cloud State, No. 9 Wayne State and No. 10 Winona State.

The NSIC, Mid-America Athletic Association (MIAA) and Great American Conference (GAC) make up the 39-team Central Region. The top eight teams in the region advance to the NCAA Regional Tournament. Automatic bids are granted to the winners of the GAC, MIAA and NSIC postseason tournament, with the five remaining spots awarded on an at-large basis.

The Warriors could improve their regional rank this weekend with a pair of huge matches against St. Cloud State (Friday) and Minnesota Duluth (Saturday). Winona State was swept on the road by both opponents earlier this year.

Winona State (20-6, 12-6 NSIC) concludes the regular season this weekend with the NSIC Tournament on the horizon, scheduled for November 22-24 at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D.
