August 17, 2006
CHICAGO, Ill. - Central Washington University ranks 19th among all NCAA Division II institutions in the fourth annual Collegiate Power Rankings, released by the National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA) on Thursday.
Stonehill College (Mass.) ranked first in the Division II NCSA Collegiate Power Rankings with the University of California, San Diego, Truman State University (Mo.), Drury University (Mo.) and Western Washington University rounding out the top five.
The National Collegiate Scouting Association matches and introduces college coaches to qualified student-athletes through education, technology and relationships with the coaching community. NCSA's Collegiate Power Rankings were developed to encourage student-athletes to take a comprehensive approach to choosing a school based on its overall merits. Colleges and universities are given a ranking based on academics, athletics, and student-athlete graduation rates enabling student-athletes to obtain a true picture of the most complete and well-rounded schools.
NCSA's power rankings are calculated for every school at the NCAA Division I, II and III level by averaging the U.S. News & World Report ranking, the U.S. Sports Academy Director's Cup rank (NACDA) and the NCAA Student-Athlete Graduation Rate of each school. The U.S. Sports Academy Director's Cup ranking evaluates the strengths of NCAA athletic departments, while the U.S. News & World Report ranking recognizes institutions of academic excellence. The student-athlete graduation rates are based on those provided by the NCAA.
The National Collegiate Scouting Association was founded in April of 2000 by Chris Krause, a former full scholarship football player at Vanderbilt University.
