OLATHE, Kan. - Auburn Montgomery (Ala.) earned 11 first place votes to earn 275 points, holding off Azusa Pacific (Calif.) and Embry-Riddle (Fla.) in an unchanged top three to this week's NAIA Men's Tennis Top 25.
Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) moved up to spots to enter the top five at No. 4, followed by Fresno Pacific (Calif.), Vanguard (Calif.), Savannah Art & Design (Ga.), Bethel (Tenn.), Point Loma Nazarene (Calif.) and Berry (Ga.) in the Top 10.
Narrowly missing the Top 10 was Lindsey Wilson (Ky.), who jumped from No. 15 last week to No. 11 this week. The poll's largest move, however, belonged to Aquinas (Mich.), who went from No. 24 to No. 17. No newcomers dotted this week's rating as all 25 ranked teams from last week remained in this week's Top 25 poll.
