Grand Canyon for the first time in its program history is ranked in the Off the Block National Media Poll.
The Antelopes following back-to-back victories against top-10 ranked teams jumped to No. 7 in the newest media poll that Off the Block released on Tuesday.
The National Media Poll is the only rankings in NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball solely determined by media members. The 10 teams receiving the most votes are ranked in the National Media Poll, while other schools earning votes but finishing outside of the top 10 are considered teams receiving votes.
A new national media poll is released every Tuesday during the regular season on Off the Block’s website.
