The Violets (9-3, 2-0 University Athletic Association) are winners of seven straight contests and have started UAA play with two victories. NYU is now the only undefeated team in Association play.
"We've been working really hard this season and it's great for our efforts to be recognized," said NYU Head Coach
Michele Canning.
Joining NYU from the UAA in the National Poll is second-ranked Washington University-St. Louis, #5 Carnegie Mellon University, ninth-ranked Emory University, #13 University of Chicago, and Case Western Reserve University (receiving votes).
