ATLANTA – For the second straight week, North Dakota State sits atop the Under Armour MCLA Division II Weekly Coaches Poll for the period ending March 4.

The Bison (3-0), which head to Montana on Sunday for three ranked contests, gobbled up 16 of the 17 first place votes. NDSU sits 37 points clear of Grand Valley State (0-0) in second.

St. Thomas (1-1) remains at No. 3, but the Tommies’ advantage over No. 4 Minn.-Duluth (3-2) is swiftly dwindling. The Bulldogs are just four points back heading into Music City Judgement this weekend.

Dayton (1-0), which is just six points back of Duluth, rounds out the Top 5.

Baylor (6-2) exited the poll this week, making way for North Florida (5-4). The Ospreys are tied for 24th.
