William & Mary Men Hold at 15th in National Polls

Team Also Retains Regional Ranking After Bye Week

WILLIAMSBURG, VA - In a week of many teams gaining or losing spots, William and Mary held steady in the national and regional polls during a bye week. The top of the MONDO rankings saw Arkansas grab the No. 1 ranking away from Wisconsin, who had held it all season to this point. The Tribe also maintained their grip on the top of the regional poll this week.


The men continue their mid-season training break for another weekend before traveling to the Brooks Pre-National Invitational on October 15.
