The Dickinson State women's basketball team moved back to No. 12 in the NAIA Division II women's basketball poll on Monday after spending a week at No. 13.
The Blue Hawks (19-6) defeated two Top 25 teams last week but few teams ranked higher than them fell, causing little disruption in the poll.
Black Hills State (21-5) jumped from sixth to fifth after previously third-ranked Northwestern College (Iowa) was upset by Dakota Wesleyan and fell to sixth.
Morningside (Iowa) again stayed atop the poll and received all 15 first-place votes. The Mustangs are 28-0.
Jamestown College, which DSU defeated on Saturday, moved from 25th to 24th. Previously 19th-ranked Valley City State, which lost to DSU on a last-second shot Wednesday and fell to Minot State on Saturday, dropped out of the poll.
