AMERICUS, Ga. -- The Georgia Southwestern State University women's basketball team is ranked in both NCAA Division II national polls released on Tuesday afternoon. GSW moved up to No. 16 from No. 13 last week in the D2 College Sports Communicators (D2CSC) media poll. The Lady Hurricanes re-enter the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) poll at No. 23 after dropping outside of the Top 25 last week.

GSW won both of its games last week to improve to 19-3 overall and 12-2 in the Peach Belt Conference. The Lady Hurricanes hold a one game lead atop the PBC standings and the tiebreaker over Augusta, who is currently in second place, with four games left in the regular season.

This is the fifth consecutive week the Lady Hurricanes have been in the Top 25 of the D2CSC poll. GSW has been ranked first in the D2CSC Southeast Region poll in two of the last three weeks.
