The top overall ranking was given to defending national champion North Dakota State. James Madison was ranked second and UC Davis, Weber State’s Big Sky Conference brethren, checked in at third overall.

Rounding out the top 10 were Elon (#5), Kennesaw State (#6), South Dakota State (#7), Wofford (#8), Eastern Washington (#9) and Delaware (#10).

The Big Sky Conference and Colonial Athletic Association each had three teams in the top 10.
