December 2018 NTCA Poll

Five Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) bowling programs are ranked in the latest National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) Top 25 Poll, which was released on Wednesday. This is the first updated poll of the 2018-19 season.

Maryland Eastern Shore, at 28-19, is the highest-ranked MEAC team at No. 8 -- the only conference school in the top 10. Defending MEAC champion North Carolina A&T State sits in 11th, followed by Delaware State at No. 13.

Monmouth sits No. 17 in the current poll, and MEAC leader UAB (9-1 in league play and coming off a victory in the Hornet Classic back in mid-November) is 20th.

McKendree, in receiving 35 of 45 first-place votes, is first in the current poll. Nebraska sits in second.

Ten of the 11 MEAC squads are idle until after the New Year, with only Florida A&M scheduled to compete again in 2018.
