LACEY, Wash. — The Saint Martin's Men's Basketball team has earned a spot in the top-25, ranking 22nd in the most recent NCAA Division II NABC Coaches Poll released on Tuesday, January 6. The Saints earned 47 points in the poll.

The top-25 ranking marks the fourth consecutive year that the Saints have earned a national ranking.

The Saints have started off the season 12-2 overall and 4-0 in GNAC play, most recently earning quality road victories against the reigning GNAC champion Seattle Pacific Falcons and taking down No. 23 Montana State Billings behind a huge second-half effort.

Saint Martin's is currently on a nine-game winning streak, which is tied for the third longest in program history.

So far this season, the Saints rank top in the GNAC and eighth in NCAA Division II in scoring margin (+20.6) and best in the conference in opponent field goal percentage (38%). Offensively, the Saints average the most three-pointers (11.1) made per game among all GNAC schools, ranking eighth in Division II.

The Saints are back at Marcus Pavilion this week, hosting Western Oregon at 5:15 p.m. on Jan. 10.
