The 'Roos, who finished seven strokes back last season, received all six first place votes to earn the maximum 36 points. Defending champion NM State received the remaining first place vote to finish second in the voting with 29 points, one point ahead of Seattle U. Utah Valley was selected fourth with 20 points, followed by UT Rio Grande Valley, CSU Bakersfield and Chicago State.
