The 15-0-2 Blue Raiders were the unanimous selection, earning all 22 first-place votes for 622 points. Their six-week reign on top is their third longest, previously owning a No. 1-ranking for 13 weeks (9/7/04 - 9/21/05) and seven weeks (10/7 - 11/16/08).

The final poll for the 2011 season will be released Sunday by 12 p.m. CST, following the completion of the conference/independent/unaffiliated tournaments. The 32-team field for the 2011 NAIA Women's Soccer National Championship Opening Round will be announced Sunday by 7 p.m. CST.

Bellevue (Neb.) moved up from No. 25 to 23 after claiming top honors in the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament. No. 11 Northwood (Fla.) dropped back four spots after being upended 2-0 by St. Thomas (Fla.) in the semifinals of The Sun Conference Tournament.
