The Bethany College men's tennis team has moved up one spot from No. 16 last week to No. 15 this week in the NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll released on February 21.
The team opened their season with a win over Dallas Baptist University before falling to Division 1 opponent University of Texas-Pan American. Bethany followed that loss with a win over Division 1 opponent Prairie View A & M University and a loss to ninth-ranked Xavier University. Bethany iscurrently 2-2 on the young season.
The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences/independents/unaffiliated groupings. The next poll will be released on March 6.
