NEWBERRY, S.C. -- The Notre Dame College Falcons have jumped to No. 1 in the third regular season 2015-16 Division II Wrestling Coaches' Association Poll after taking the title at the 2016 NWCA National Duals.
The Falcons took six first place votes after their 4-0 run in Fort Wayne, Ind., including a semifinal win over former top dogs, Maryville. The Saints took the other two first place votes in the poll and are in third place.
National Duals runners-up St. Cloud State remained in second place, while the Mountain Cats of Pitt-Johnstown jumped to fourth from seventh. Nebraska-Kearney rounds out the top five.
Seven top-ranked wrestlers were knocked off in Fort Wayne, but nine of the 10 weight classes still have the same wrestler ranked No. 1 despite tough competition just behind them. Lindenwood's Terrel Wilbourn at 157 lbs. is the only new No. 1.
The next national rankings will be released on January 28.
