Scots back in Top 10
Release Date: November 2, 2009
MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Monmouth’s 44-17 win Saturday over Illinois College at April Zorn
Memorial Stadium helped the Fighting Scots return to the top 10 in
two national polls.
D3football.com and the American Football Coaches Association
(AFCA) both ranked the Scots No. 8 in the latest polls released
Monday. Monmouth and Central (Iowa) are the only two teams in the
top 10 boasting 9-0 records with one game to play. Losses by
Washington and Jefferson (Pa.), Otterbein and North Central opened
the door for Monmouth’s move up in the polls.
Both polls agree on the top four – Mt. Union,
UW-Whitewater, Wesley and St. John’s, in that order. Central is
ranked fifth in the AFCA poll and Linfield (Ore.) is sixth. The
teams trade positions in the D3football poll where Mary
Hardin-Baylor is seventh, Case Western Reserve ninth and St. Thomas
is tabbed 10th. In the AFCA poll, Case Western is seventh while Mary
Hardin-Baylor and Thomas More (Ky.) round out their top 10.
Monmouth puts its 22-game regular season
winning streak on the line Saturday at Knox in the Bronze Turkey
Game. The Scots own a record 10-game winning streak in the series,
which began in 1888. Monmouth leads the series 60-50-10.
