SMALL COLLEGE NEWS … The fall was swift for defending NCAA Division II men’s champion Cal State Dominguez Hills. The Toros, ranked No. 1 in the NSCAA/adidas preseason rankings, dropped out of the Top 25 after they fell at Grand Canyon, 2-1. St. Mary’s transfer Kyle Ciliento led GCU with both goals.
By contrast, No. 2 Dowling fell to Franklin Pierce, 3-0, and only dropped to No. 15. The new No. 1 is Tampa.
Seattle Pacific remained No. 1 in the Division II women’s rankings after the Falcons extended their unbeaten streak to 19 games with 1-0 wins over Cal State Monterey Bay and San Francisco State.
