Tuesday, February 01, 2011

BOSTON - Belmont reached 20 wins faster than any other team in the program's NCAA era and remained No. 13 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll, released Monday night.

The Bruins have appeared in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Poll seven straight weeks. Their highest ranking ever came at the end of the 2007-08 season when they finished at No. 11.

Belmont's No. 13 ranking ranks at the highest for an Atlantic Sun member since Mercer early in the 2008-09 season. Following early-season upsets at Alabama and Auburn, the Bears moved up to as high at No. 10 in the consecutive weeks, the Nov. 24 and Dec. 1 polls.

Belmont travels to the River City for road contests against Jacksonville on Thursday and UNF on Saturday.
