Lewis 28th In NCSA Power Rankings
Aug. 30, 2007
ROMEOVILLE, Ill. - Of the nearly 300 institutions competing in NCAA Division II, Lewis University is listed 28th in the 2007 National Collegiate Scouting Association's (NCSA) Collegiate Power Rankings.
The collegiate power rankings from NCSA are calculated for each college/university at the NCAA Division I, II and III levels by averaging the U.S. Sports Academy Directors' Cup ranking, the NCAA student-athlete graduation rate of each college/university and the U.S. News & World Report ranking.
The collegiate power rankings based off of the U.S. Sports Academy Directors' Cup rating evaluates the strength of NCAA athletic departments, while the U.S. News & World Report rating recognizes institutions of academic excellence. The student-athlete graduation rates are based on those provided by the NCAA.
Lewis showed significant improvement in this year's rankings after finishing 74th place in 2006.
Demonstrating the strength of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, Lewis is one of five GLVC schools ranked in the top 30. Drury ranked sixth, Missouri-Rolla came in 13th, Wisconsin-Parkside was 18th and Indianapolis finished tied for 26th.
