No. 2 Notre Dame achieved its highest ranking in six years in the Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll released Monday.
The Fighting Irish (21-2) moved up one spot behind unbeaten UCLA (23-0), which remained the unanimous choice of all 31 voters. It’s the loftiest perch for Notre Dame since it was No. 1 on Jan. 21, 2019.
No. 3 Texas (24-2) also climbed one place following its 66-62 victory Sunday against South Carolina (22-2), which slipped two spots to No. 4 after seeing its 57-game Southeastern Conference regular season winning streak end.
No. 5 LSU (25-1) is followed in the top 10 by Southern Cal (21-2), UConn (22-3), Kentucky (19-2), Ohio State (20-3) and North Carolina State (19-4).
Vanderbilt and California dropped out of the poll, replaced by No. 24 Creighton and No. 25 Baylor.
The rest of the women’s Top 25:
11. TCU (22-3) 12. North Carolina (21-4) 13. Duke (19-5) 14. Kansas State (22-3) 15. Tennessee (17-6) 16. Oklahoma (17-6) 17. Maryland (19-5) 18. West Virginia (19-4) 19. Georgia Tech (20-4) 20.
