Holy Family Ranked 14th in USA Today Poll
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (January 10, 2013) - Holy Family University remains ranked in the latest USA TODAY Sports Division II Top 25 women's basketball poll.
The Tigers posted a 2-1 record since the last USA Today Sports Division II Top 25 poll was released on Dec. 18, 2012, with the team's only loss during that stretch coming at the hands of Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) foe, Caldwell College. The Cougars used a pair of late free throws to hand Holy Family their first CACC loss of the season, snapping a 12-game winning streak.
Holy Family will return to CACC action tonight as they host Goldey-Beacom in a pivotal South Division match-up.
