As expected, UTB/TSC moved up two positions to the No. 6 in the first edition of the Tachikara-NAIA Volleyball Coaches' Top 25 Poll released Tuesday.

The Scorpions (7-0) were ranked No. 8 in the preseason poll released in August. Tuesday's release marks the first of 11 season rankings announced weekly.

Fresno Pacific University, the three-time national champion, remained in the No. 1 position. The top five teams remained unchanged.

UTB/TSC knocked off seventh-ranked Columbia College (Mo.), 3-1, Saturday in the Quality Inn Classic hosted by Columbia, which dropped one spot to No. 8.

Biola University (Calif.), which was ranked No. 6, dropped to the No. 10 position with three losses in its first 10 games.

The biggest jump in the poll came from Lubbock Christian University (7-0), which moved from No. 22 to No. 12.  The Lady Chaparrals will be one of four visiting teams in the Scorpion Volleyball Classic Sept. 17-18 at Manuel Garza B. Gymnasium. The Scorpions play LCU Sept. 17 and will also have a rematch against Columbia College on Sept. 18.
