There was little movement over the last week. Tennessee won four more games to continue its undefeated season and maintain its place atop the rankings. Texas Tech and Texas, last year’s WCWS finalists, are right behind. And this week brought a new team to the top 25 to replace Clemson: Grand Canyon.
Here’s this week’s complete ranking.
Player to watch
Sophia Knight, Tennessee
The junior outfielder is as responsible as anybody for Tennessee’s hot start to the season. Knight was named SEC Player of the Week after going 11-for-13 last week. She has recorded eight multi-hit games and is hitting .543 through the first 14 games of the season.
