UNOH in Top 25
KANSAS CITY – The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has released its first baseball top-25 coaches’ poll of the 2015 season, and for the first time in program history, the University of Northwestern Ohio is included.
UNOH came in at 25th in the rankings. Oklahoma Baptist is ranked No. 1.
“I am very happy for the university,” head coach Kory Hartman said. “Although this is something that I am very proud of, it certainly does not mean anything at this point in our season. We still have a lot of unfinished work ahead of us. It is a testimony to how hard our kids have worked, and the collective effort of our staff.”
