CHARLOTTE, NC – Just two changes for Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference schools in the latest NJCAA volleyball rankings as the final polls of the regular season have five conference schools ranked in the week 10 polls released on Monday, November 4th.  

Both changes come in the NJCAA Division 1 Volleyball top 20 poll following the final week of play in the regular season for the KJCCC with Barton moving up two spots from ninth to seventh after winning their 22nd KJCCC title in program history by finishing the regular season with a 28-2 overall record. Colby, which suffered a mid-week defeat to Garden City last Wednesday before bouncing back with a sweep of Hutchinson fell three spots and are now ranked 10th to give the KJCCC both of their teams in the D1 rankings ranked inside the top 10.

As for the NJCAA Division 2 top 25 poll, the KJCCC saw no changes for any of their three ranked teams as Cowley remains the top ranked team after finishing the regular season with two wins to cap off a 34-0 regular season as the Tigers have continued their win streak to 75 straight matches. CCC won their second-straight KJCCC regular season title and have won 102 of the 106 sets they have played this season.
