COLORADO SPRINGS, Co. - The Northampton women's volleyball team moved up to 6th in the latest NJCAA Division III poll, released today by the national office.

Northampton, now 21-0, moved three spots from 9th to 6th, which is their highest ranking ever in the sport of volleyball.

"It's another milestone day for the team," remarked Head Coach Adrian Yaguez, "6th is the highest we have ever been ranked and it is a testament to the hard-work the girls have put in, but the bottom line is that we need to continue to improve as we strive for the Region XIX championship."

The Spartans return to action on Friday when they travel to Syracuse, NY to compete in the Cara Bryant Memorial Tournament at Onondaga Community College.
