INDIANAPOLIS – Winning ways in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference schedule continued for Walsh and Kentucky Wesleyan as each program moved up in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Top 25 Poll.
 
Walsh inched that much closer to the top 10, sitting at 11th, while the Panthers are still trending upward with a bump up to No. 22.
